They take fiber, cellulose and all of these human inedible byproducts, and turn them into high quality protein for people. This process of "upcycling" helps reduce green house gas emissions as well.

Over 70 BILLION POUNDS of food waste reaches our landfills every year, contributing to methane emissions and wasting energy and resources across the food supply chain. EPA estimates that more food reaches landfills than any other material in everyday trash, constituting 24% of municipal solid waste. This wasted food contributes to landfills being the third largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States.
