Closing the Food-Loop: How Ecotone Renewables is Addressing the Issue of Food Waste
Ecotone Renewables is closing the food-loop by recapturing lost nutrients and creating hyper-local energy production. Our cultures, identities, social outings and lifestyles have a lot to do with the food we eat. We prepare food elegantly for restaurant goers, present food regularly on network tv shows, spend billions on the production and transportation of food from farm to plate, and strengthen community and family ties over a shared meal at dinner. With food being so ingrained in our social lives, we can sometimes forget about the main purpose of food: to sustain life. As this simple fact slips our minds, we find people holding gold, oil, data, or other assets at a greater valuable; thus, food is also one of the most wasted commodities on the planet.
