This article from BioCycle describes how legislation like the Commercial Organics Waste ban is helping to spur the development of Anaerobic Digesters in New England.  The article highlights Barstow’s Longview Farm in South Hadley, where a recently installed Anaerobic Digester is generating energy from diverted food waste. The farm even uses a by-product of the anaerobic digestion to fertilize their fields, allowing them to grow more hay while spending less on fertilizer.
