This Farm Turns Garbage into Food

The video discusses the issue of food waste and how Black Dirt Farm in Vermont addresses it by turning waste into food through sustainable practices. The farm, located on Abenaki tribal land, collects food scraps from local communities and processes them into compost using a full-cycle integrated system. This system includes the use of lay hens and worms to enhance composting efficiency. The farm aims to balance economic and environmental goals by reducing input costs and maximizing resource use. The vision is to create a sustainable farming model that can be replicated globally to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
