Answer 1

Option a, composting scraps for fertilizer, would be the best way to reuse food waste. Composting allows the organic material in food waste to break down and become a nutrient-rich soil amendment that can be used to improve soil fertility and plant growth. It also helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, which can have negative environmental impacts. Option b, feeding scraps to livestock, can also be a good option, but it depends on a variety of factors including the type and amount of food waste and the type of livestock. Options c and d, incineration and converting scraps to biofuel, may not be as environmentally friendly or cost-effective as composting or feeding to livestock.
