Summary
This narrative review examines evolving global trends in food waste composting, synthesising evidence on current practices and identifying research priorities. The authors appear to assess both the environmental benefits and practical challenges of composting as a food waste management strategy, highlighting opportunities for improved technologies and systems. Note: This record is retracted; readers should consult the retraction notice for details on why the publication was withdrawn.
UK applicability
UK food waste composting policy and practice, particularly household and commercial schemes, could benefit from the global evidence synthesis. However, the retracted status means findings should be treated with caution pending clarification of retraction reasons.
Key measures
Composting practices, food waste valorisation pathways, research challenges and gaps
Outcomes reported
The study examined global trends in food waste composting practices and identified research challenges and opportunities in the field. As suggested by the title, the work appears to synthesise evidence on composting methodologies, their environmental implications, and knowledge gaps.
