The ecological situation in the world has to be faced by a new generation of leaders capable of working towards bringing a new period of success to the way the world operates in the 21st-century and beyond. The Kalu Yala Institute is trying to change the way we view the environmental situation on our planet by bringing together students, entrepreneurs, and technology companies to create the world’s most sustainable town. Sustainability means the problem of food waste at the village in the jungles of Panama is being addressed to make sure the amount of waste is kept to a minimum.
Kalu Yala reviews are largely positive about the different food programs that are undertaken by the students and counselors at the village. One of the leading ways the villagers at Kalu Yala reach their goals when it comes to making the most of their food waste is by looking at the way science can be of service. The leaders of Kalu Yala are looking at the options provided by history to ensure they get the most out of their food waste through the work of leading historic experts, such as Sir Albert Howard.
The Kalu Yala village is taking the approach that composting is the best option for the sustainable village to undertake in terms of creating a loop of food production and waste. The cycle of use is explained in a number of Kalu Yala reviews that explain how the food waste program takes its place in the farm to table system developed at the site. The idea of sustainability includes the need for a safe way of fertilizing crops with compost. The EPA describes compost as a natural form of food waste placed in piles, vessels, or mounds that breaks down to become a form of fertilizer.
There are three common forms of food waste used at the site described by Kalu Yala reviews including the use of food scraps to feed chickens. The leaders of the village have stated they began feeding their chickens with feed bought in a nearby town but this was shown to have the same nutritional value as the food scraps from the village. The chickens at Kalu Yala are given a healthy diet of food scraps that are enjoyed by the chickens and ensures no food is wasted at the village. The food scraps that are not used by the chickens are passed to the tilapia fish farm on the site and used in a similar way to the food eaten by the chickens.
Traditional composting also takes place at Kalu Yala in what has become known as the magic circles where plant, food, and animal wastes are combined. These magic circles of compost are surrounded by crops that are planted around the edge of the circle with compost placed in the middle of the area. The nutrients created by the compost are then passed through the ground to be delivered to the plants around the edge of the circle.
As the issue of food production in a world where the population is expanding all the time, the ability to recycle and reuse food waste is vital to human survival. The example set by the village at Kalu Yala is destined to show settlements around the equator how best to move into the future with an ecologically-friendly approach to sustainable living
