🐔 One person's food waste = another chicken's dinner? @uninewengland's Rebel Northey is making this a reality. His #GarySansomScholarship research shows food waste diets for broilers could cut feed costs AND landfill waste.
The results are so promising, he's taking on a PhD to expand the research through 2027.
