In June 1992, "Sustainable Development" was classified as an important agenda of the Agenda 21 in the Earth Summit. This paper referenced the public policy of waste disposal in Taiwan over the years. In waste disposal category, the recycling plight for food waste recycle and reuse project is easily caused by some characteristics that are more difficult to overcome, like high proportion of water and readily fermentable. Food waste is the black gold for many modern farmers. The food waste reuse in composting could improve intensive used of chemical fertilizers in soil for agricultural regions in Taiwan, and then establish the cycle of nature.
