11 Jun 2018 --- Food waste is an industry issue for consumers and suppliers alike. Everyone is becoming much more conscious of the role they play in the food waste chain, whether they are a consumer, retailer or food supplier. As a result, the Almond Board of California (ABC) is looking into the potential for almond co-products. In 2017, almond farmers in California grew 2.1 billion pounds of the kernels that are sold in stores and another 4.3 billion pounds of hulls. And according to the ABC, there is now a deeper focus on doing more with the hulls, ensuring that they’re put to beneficial use rather than sent to a landfill.
