To stay alive we must practise healthy living style. Starting from the food we consume to the cleanness of our evironment. Most food and fruits we eat have high bioaccumulation of contaminant and are responsible for many of the life threatening diseases.
We know that we can recycle glass, paper, aluminum and some plastic, but what about food waste ?. Food waste can be recycled as farm fertilizers.

The soil needs rich nutrients to ensure proper growth of plant. Rather than applying Artificial inorganic fertilizers that are acidic and environmental unfriendly, food waste that are highly organic will do the wonders to the crop.

I did a little experiment on my plantain farm and the result was astonishing.

After applying the food waste, i did little tilling of the soil to ensure proper mixing.

From my experiment, the food waste were easily decomposed favouring the growth of the plantain tree.

Conclusion
Food waste should be recycle, our farm needs it because It is environmental friendly with no toxic effect to plant, animals, humans and the environment.
