Many of you have probably heard of the concept â waste equals food .â William McDonough, architect, designer and author of the esteemed book Cradle to Cradle, developed the idea.lants need two types of nutrients for healthy growth; mineral and non-mineral. Non-mineral nutrients are Oxygen(O), Hydrogen(H), and Carbon (C). CO2 and H20 are changed into the plants food during photosynthesis.
Why Food Waste is an Urgent Global Problem. Youâve probably already heard the stats: 35 million tons of food goes to the landfill every year in the United States. Itâs a staggering amount when you figure that food comprised more than 20 percent of our entire yearly waste stream in 2013. Put another way: On average, every family in the nation loses $1,600 to $2,000 each year to food that is purchased but not eaten. That loss is more than what it costs to feed a family of four for an entire month.
