The wording was a bit odd. Obiviously the pulp mixture isn't biogas. Biogas is released from the pulp mixture once it starts to break down.

[@vitoribeiro]

So much food uneaten...

[@arkin2263]

At least it can be repurposed now

[@vitoribeiro]

It would be better if people could actually eat them, like in places where people live in hunger. But yes, better than nothing...

[@ijsgijspijs801]

​@@vitoribeiro or give it to chickens

[@zicu-9778]

And what do you think happens at the landfills? They extract methane from the waste, which is used to power the city

[@phisto221]

Yeah thats very common all over the world…

[@Ausyris]

Yes, but landfills leak methane and odours, and release toxic leachate into the environment. Additionally, landfill gas production is unreliable and will stop flowing at economic rates within 20 years of capping, but will continue to leak for over 50 years. Anaerobic digestion is far superior to landfill gas capture.

[@StikbotJP]

Yeah

[@hbgriss]

Looks like most was still good

[@mc17043]

So, only fruits? And not other food waste? If other food waste can be used to, that'll be great and should be applied in every country

[@tiptop7338]

Why this is not happening around the globe.

[@phillippaulino7150]

Oil companies don't want that

[@Death605]

out of all the ppl in India I would’ve thought they would’ve been one of the hungriest..

[@aasthadubey4734]

Naah it is not ttue

[@brenturquhart7090]

Have they ever thought about feeding the large amount of starving Indians. I’m sure they would appreciate the food, even though they’d have to eat it while using a candle for light. I could be wrong, maybe the starving people would rather have electricity.

[@mountolympus1098]

No one is starving in India. We have problem of access food.
Nutrient problem is there because of vegetarianism

[@bluesunproductions9079]

Over 16% or 220 million Indians don’t have enough food to eat each day, seems like there is a far better use for this still good food than bio gas. What a waste, guess American isn’t the only country that is wasteful

[@vitoribeiro]

That's exactly what I thought

[@WERNUTZ]

I see rotten fruits and vegetables in the mix. It is SPOILED FOOD!

[@cloudsymbol7890]

Food waste can't give homeless people mouldy rotten food....

[@vitoribeiro]

@@cloudsymbol7890 but the food could be relocated before going bad

[@cloudsymbol7890]

@@vitoribeiro yh nah I hear you but as a bussiness they keep it till last minute for sales then lit when "unsellable" they do this because imaging relocating it n then a mass of people come to purchase said stuff it would be classed as a loss n someone's job probably this is one of those be greatfull it's not just going in the bin type situations tbh

[@WERNUTZ]

Must smell ripe!😂

[@PlasticDetox]

Love this!!!!!

[@PadmaKatla]

Wait, I’m from Hyderabad but I didn’t knew?!

[@Tribipentium325]

That's racism. The reason why they eat pets secretly because of food shortages, so the main problem is agriculture. Not Haitian.

[@feedfancier]

"Experts say" is journalism for "I say".

[@aswimminpool]

It's literally not

[@nicoleernst9662]

It’s about time thank god or the video update make it into pig feed

[@StikbotJP]

DANG
