Then we somewhat agree, overproduction can sometimes be a good thing in certain circumstances. But then let me ask you this, how much money is that food waste worth at a rate of say one us dollar per kg, because it's going to be different across different countries, and we also need to consider that recycling food waste into something besides natural fuel production isn't exactly a great source of research funding so far.

I'm a type of anarchist, I don't believe a solarpunk future should have money. I think communities should primarily grow native crops in community and individual gardens, and trade internationally between foodbanks for the small amounts of overproduction each community might create. Honestly, the only reason we have plant fuels like corn ethanol is specifically because of overproduction. Any food waste produced in a solarpunk society should go to compost for the gardens.
