This book discusses the sustainable management and conversion of food waste into various resources through biological resource recovery techniques. An overview is given of the present challenges facing food waste management, why food waste reduction in general is a pressing issue, and the current treatment methods for food waste to minimize adverse environmental and human health impacts. The majority of the chapters then discuss sustainable methods for converting food waste into resources such as fermentation, vermicomposting, nutrient recycling, pyrolysis, biochar, and microbial decomposition, with the goal of sustainably producing biogas, fertilizer, animal feed, and other resources. The primary audience of the book is researchers working in the field of waste management. It will also interest NGOs, industrial engineers, and policymakers looking for methods to prevent and manage food waste.
