roundup of historic year of federal funding for organics and recycling projects

And, it’s important to note that there were more worthy projects, that would have created jobs and diverted waste from becoming harmful methane emissions, than there were resources.

That’s why it’s beyond essential that the Farm Bill include funding for the planning and infrastructure sorely needed to boost organics recycling, food waste reduction, food recovery and composting. Get involved!
