You’ve probably heard of composting or throwing food scraps into your worm farm, but what about dehydrating food waste?

The University of Technology Sydney are trialling a new innovation which heats food waste to very high temperatures, drastically reduces it in size and can potentially be used as a soil additive.

Also, what makes the food dehydrator different than your standard compost or worm farm, is it can break down meat products too!
