In New York, mushrooms have become amazing climate heroes.
Every day, restaurants and grocery stores produce a lot of food waste, from vegetables to old bread from vegetables. When these wastes collapse in the garbage landfill, it releases strong methane with powerful planet warm water.
However, a New York company called “Altllif Life Ag” discovered the better use of these food fragments.
Winson Wong, co -founder, said his company collected food waste from restaurants and shops, grinded it, and used it as a medium level to plant various mushrooms.
Huang: “We grow up like blue oysters, lions's mane, chestnut mushrooms, trumpets, pink oysters, pioppino, etc.”.
As mushrooms grow, fungi began to break down food waste. After harvesting mushrooms, donate leftovers to the park or farm into compost.
The company sold mushrooms back to the same restaurant and grocery stores that produced waste.
Wong: “I think they can get agricultural products from food waste, because it is so novel for them.”
Huang said that the company now has more than 60 customers-planting delicious mushrooms and reducing the waste of food from large apples.
