John Hanselman and dairyman Randy Jordan on anaerobic digesters to handle both manure and food waste.

“If U.S. food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world, behind the U.S. and China”, says John Hanselman, CEO of Vanguard Renewables. His company is partnering with dairy farmers on anaerobic digesters to handle both manure and food waste. In this episode of DairyVoice podcast, he talks with host Joel Hastings of DairyBusiness News and dairyman Randy Jordan, a Vanguard partner, who has been working successfully with digesters on his central Massachusetts farm for nearly a decade. Vanguard recently announced the Farm Powered Strategic Alliance along with Dairy Farmers of America, Starbucks and Unilever. For a great overview, you can listen as DFA member Gardner gives his practical take on all of it.
