Household Food Waste as Animal Feed – an Analysis and Evaluation

Abstract

Food waste is a serious global concern, both in its production and its disposal. This thesis aims to evaluate and analyse possible solutions to this challenge. Circular economy cycles were drawn up for the revalorisation of food waste through composting, anaerobic digestion, and the production of animal feed. Special attention was paid to the revalorisation of food waste into animal feed especially for poultry and swine and through the use of insects. A reference was made to the techniques and successes demonstrated by South Korea.
