Here at the corrections center in the northeast, they've started what's called a food recovery project, in which tons of wasted food is composted, and re-used, to grow a fruit orchard and several vegetable gardens.
Thursday, officials with the environmental protection agency praised the program, which also gives many of the inmates valuable hands-on training in horticulture and gardening.
