Question

How is methane gas produced from food waste?

Answer 1

$\large\green{\textsf{✩ Verified Answer ✓ }}$

Anaerobic decomposition produces methane gas. And, since it takes so long for that decomposition to happen, food waste in landfills just keeps on producing methane. A single head of lettuce, for example, can take up to 25 years to decompose in a landfill, giving off harmful methane gas the whole time.
