    What is done with food waste recycled ( One Only)

    Explanation
    Food waste can be recycled in several ways. It can be used as fertilizer to enrich soil and promote plant growth. It can also be converted into bioenergy through processes like anaerobic digestion, where it is broken down by microorganisms to produce biogas or biofuels. Additionally, food waste can be used as animal feed, providing nutrition for livestock. Lastly, food waste can be composted, allowing it to decompose naturally and create nutrient-rich soil. These methods help to reduce waste, conserve resources, and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
