Composting can be small scale and large scale and everything in between but too often home composting, onsite composting, community scale composting, and on-farm composting are overlooked. Anaerobic digestion systems come in different sizes as well. This new hierarchy addresses issues of scale and community benefits when considering what strategies and infrastructure to pursue for food waste reduction and recovery.\r\n\r\nThe US Environmental Protection Agency has long been a strong advocate of food waste recovery. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sustainable-management-food\/food-recovery-hierarchy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerarqu\u00eda de reducci\u00f3n del desperdicio de alimentos<\/a> se ha difundido ampliamente e incluso se ha incorporado a la legislaci\u00f3n local. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/rule\/food-scrap-ban\/vermont-organics-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ley de reciclaje universal de Vermont<\/a>, por ejemplo, lo ha convertido en pol\u00edtica de ese estado. M\u00e1s recientemente, en 2015, la EPA se uni\u00f3 al Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos para establecer el primer programa nacional de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sustainable-management-food\/united-states-2030-food-loss-and-waste-reduction-goal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">objetivo de reducir a la mitad la p\u00e9rdida y el desperdicio de alimentos para el a\u00f1o 2030<\/a>. The agency\u2019s hierarchy remains an important guideline for how this goal is to be met: prevent\u00a0food waste, feed hungry people, feed animals, and recover via industrial uses and anaerobic digestion. However, in the EPA\u2019s hierarchy, composting is listed just before disposal via landfilling and incineration. We believe size matters.\r\n\r\nILSR supports the development of a diverse and distributed food waste reduction and recovery infrastructure. We hope local and state governments will consider using our hierarchy as a policy framework. We welcome comments and suggestions.","":null,"settings":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"<h2>Available Translations:\r\n\r\n<a class=\"btn :version-1 :size-1 :full-width-false\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/share.hsforms.com\/2Q_9ZnsdSRJqBxQO22oRKggd2g9c\">Espa\u00f1ol<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <a class=\"btn :version-1 :size-1 :full-width-false\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/d2g9c.share.hsforms.com\/2FAffW5LzQKu1oukE9aImTQ\">French<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a class=\"btn :version-1 :size-1 :full-width-false\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/d2g9c.share.hsforms.com\/2YV2bOjbiQYiRDdMvlR59uQ\">Vietnamese<\/a><\/h2>","":null,"settings":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_basic_html","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_basic_html":{"heading":"Download the Slideshow","code":"<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/wZwOA740v7f1Tw?startSlide=2\" width=\"597\" height=\"486\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border:1px solid #CCC; border-width:1px; margin-bottom:5px;max-width: 100%;\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><div style=\"margin-bottom:5px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/hierarchy-to-reduce-food-waste-and-grow-community\/75239863\" title=\"Hierarchy to Reduce Food Waste and Grow Community\" target=\"_blank\">Hierarchy to Reduce Food Waste and Grow Community<\/a><\/strong> from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/ILSR\" target=\"_blank\">Virginia Streeter<\/a><\/strong><\/div>","width":"narrow"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"<div style=\"margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center;\">Download the original PowerPoint presentation of the above slides here: <a href=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HierarchyComposting.pptx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ILSR Food Waste Hierarchy PowerPoint<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Download a pdf of the <em><strong>Hierarchy to Reduce Waste &amp; Grow Community<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HierarchyIG-FINAL-24x18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ILSR Food Waste Hierarchy\u00a0v2<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/food-waste-hierarchy-spanish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the Spanish version of this page.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/article\/composting-for-community\/composting-infographics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out other composting infographics here.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_47672\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 720px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/output_hZZYb8.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-47672 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/output_hZZYb8.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Share our gif here: <a href=\"https:\/\/ilsr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/output_hZZYb8.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/ilsr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/output_hZZYb8.gif<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\nWe want you to be able to share this graphic under creative commons license, free of cost.
