Description :
Kitchen food waste can be used for biogas and bio-fertilizer production. Biogas is used as a
source of energy. Biogas and bio-fertilizer production from such waste shall be more cost
effective, eco-friendly, and can cut down on landfill waste, generate a high-quality
renewable fuel, and reduce CH4 and CO2 emissions in environment, thereby preventing
pollution. These gases can also be employed in bio-fertilizer production, thereby replacing
the chemical fertilizers. Anaerobic bacteria play a major role in the regulation of soil
properties on the basis of their biological activity.
Keywords: food, food waste, biodegradation, bacteria, anaerobic degradation
