The New London County Farm Bureau in Connecticut wants to get more anaerobic digesters on farms.
The digesters take waste from cows and food and turn it into electricity and useful by-products that power local communities and help farmers.
Rashi Akki is the CEO and founder of Ag-Grid, the energy company behind the digester project.
“What you see here is sort of like a well-integrated system where cows eat their food, they poop, we take their poop and we take everybody’s waste from within 25, 30 to 40 miles around here,” Akki explained.
