The Optimistic Futurist: Growing jobs and food security
Include USA TerraCycle fertilizer
At the Rutgers EcoComplex, a business incubator and sustainability research center in New Jersey, Princeton University students who wanted to be “eco-capitalists” started TerraCycle. They figured out a way to turn college dorm food waste into liquid organic fertilizer by feeding the food scraps to specialty selected worms. The product was such a success it got picked up by Home Depot and Wal-Mart.
