Topic: Innovation
Author: The Conversation
Title: How sewage treatment plants could handle food waste, sparing landfills and the climate
Takeaway: "Research my colleagues and I conducted found that communities across the country already operate facilities designed to handle organic matter: wastewater treatment plants. Many larger, well-funded plants already have the infrastructure to process food waste, though not every plant is ready to do so today."
