Food waste treatment methods and its effects on the growth quality of plants: a review

Food waste and leftovers were common materials that were currently used as biocompost or soil conditioners upon decomposition. Food waste was a source of food that has declined nutritional value and is not deemed favorable for human consumption. Leftovers were defined as uneaten edible remains of a...
