In an initiative pioneered by six animal sciences students, thousands of eggs from Cornell’s poultry farm, which are currently composted, will be cleaned and delivered to local food shelters to mitigate food insecurity in the area.
“The purpose is to try and make U.S. poultry production more sustainable and more profitable for the producers,” said Prof. Xingen Lei, animal science, one of the co-principal investigators on the project, explaining that the project stands to disrupt one of America’s largest and most ubiquitous consumer markets.
