BOWLING GREEN, Ky.—Turning food waste into fertilizer is one of the ways Western Kentucky University is demonstrating sustainability.
The renovation of Fresh Food Company in the Downing Student Union provided a unique opportunity to implement food composting from the dining hall.
In collaboration between Dining Services; Department of Facilities Management; Planning, Design and Construction; the Office of Sustainability; and the Baker Arboretum, a pre and post consumer food waste collection system was designed into the DSU renovation.
