Living in the desert of Las Vegas and work I g in a casino that separates food waste from plastics and other wastes; I often wonder if the food waste in high amounts could give life to the soil or would it just be a biohazard to try to mix it into the earth to bring back nutrients.

Question

Was wondering if deep trenches where filled out in the desert with food bio-waste. Could we perform small scale terra-forming? Would it just end up creating a mess. Kinda wonder of we could even bank away useable biomass in the deserts even.

Answer 1

Most of the casino food waste in Las Vegas goes to the pig farms. There was a sad news story during the shut down about the farms not being able to support the pigs anymore.
