Executive Summary
Food waste has turned out to be an issue that has seen a growing interest among consumers, activists, and scientists. Currently, individuals have started recognizing the significance of food waste including the economic, social, and environmental costs associated with this act. The elimination and understanding of food waste have, therefore, become the aim of our venture. In the current society, several chemical fertilizers exist in the market. However, several people are unaware of the harm and impact of the usage of these chemical fertilizers on the environment and human health. The use of chemical fertilizers causes pollution to the environment, with this perceived to degrade people's health through the breakdown of biological food chain systems over the long run.
1.1 Introduction
In as much as chemical fertilizers tentatively seem cheaper that the organic fertilizers and are readily available in the market, of essence is the fact that their harm to the environment and human life are inconsiderable. This is evident in the fact that these fertilizers are not eco-friendly. Thus they may help in nourishing plants for a given time and degrade the land. On the other hand, chemical fertilizers have some level of acidity since they are made from chemicals. This, therefore, means that an excessive use of these products may cause harm to microorganisms by affecting the soils PH value which adversely affects the growth of plants. When chemical fertilizers are applied, some are bound to find their way into the ground and carried into water sources such as rivers, streams, lakes, and the ocean. This, therefore, results in the contamination of water sources and aquatic life. However, it is essential to consider that the State of Alabama has been producing close to 50,000 tons of waste products, with 50% of these products acquired from food.
These waste products are mainly dumped in garbage bins with only a section of the landfills equipped with modern pollution control systems. This clearly means that most of the dumpsites are not properly managed and developed, thus results in pollution. Given this, out team seeks to set a business that will engage in the production of organic fertilizers through a process that entails the recycling of food wastes that are generated from the daily consumption of food. The primary idea behind this venture is to help in mitigating the harmfulness of toxic chemicals that impact human health systems with the aim of preserving the ecosystem from the usage of chemical fertilizers. Technically, the business will make use of food waste as the primary source of raw material for the production of organic fertilizers. The business will, therefore, turn food waste products into cash, with this anticipated to reduce materials cost of production.
1.2 The Description of the Business
The business venture aims at transforming food wastes collected from major eateries and restaurants into organic fertilizers. The organic fertilizers will considerably offer better living standards to the society as well as establish an environmentally friendly community that is 100% chemical free.
