The organic waste starts as feedstock. Feedstock starts with agricultural corn and soy. Let's see the whole cycle and the whole industry using the chicken as example.

You put your animals as near as possible where the feedstock is planted to avoid the costs of transporting the food to the animals.

Brazilians are very lazy people. Lazy people are very good at producing cheap stuff. They love the "law of the less effort"

Once you have place there is cheap corn, you find cheap land and cheap manpower. Municipality, gives land free of charge, plus the road to the factory planned place and put the transformer for electricity,
You pout factory there and municipality gets the taxes, and the jobs and economic growth that comes with the integrated chicken industry => corn field, feedstock processing and slaughter house. All in a very small area.

Now you have to raise the chickens. You give the broiler to the guys in the area who have small property. Give him the design to build the chicken house. Give him the feed stock, the technical people who vaccinate the chicken against diseases.

The guy has got only to act as what I call "chicken pimp": look that the chicken are OK. Feed give water, keep temperature right. Get paid for how many chicken they deliver at the right weight.

First organic waste enters the scene: the manure of the chicken house is spread on the corn field where the corn grows. Chicken house is ready to more broilers.

Nowhere in the world can anyone produce chicken as cheap as this.
