Give the level of food wastage we encounter in households especially especially in developing countries where food storage facilities are still a problem, and postharvest losses are rampant same as household cooked food wastes. I think this idea is of reclying food is really brilliant. Good luck Silver
Great thanks to all who have liked and posted feedback to my project.
Wishing you a the best. We are the ones Africa has been waiting for.
At this moment I cab only encourage more feedbacks to come in and help us shape this into a highly result project.
It is Godly, recycling waste as it were into useful products just as nature tells us. It's been a way in nature to clean up and sustain self. Helping us to know that what we consider waste can generate money for us, it is good
Keep it up
It is a very interesting project which takes environmental issues into account . We must protect planet earth. Congratulations. May this project be crowned with success.
Nice project. environmental wastes are now becoming alarming, and finding solution to it is not any easy thing. But this your idea is best i must say, in solving some of this environmental wastes issues. It also gives an affordable cost to those who have interest in livestock rearing. May you get more sponsors to help you enlarge your project. Thank you.
