Why 101

The difference behind Nutrition 101

We build partnerships rooted in trust, performance, and shared purpose. For decades, we’ve helped our customers solve real operational challenges while
advancing sustainability goals.

What sets Nutrition 101 apart is our customer-first mindset, strong agricultural foundation, and commitment to doing the work the right way, every day.

Best Practices

Food Waste Hierarchy

According to the US EPA, the best thing you can do with food waste that isn’t suitable for humans is to feed it to animals. This approach has been practiced successfully for centuries: it is time-tested and environmentally sound. We make it work on an industrial scale, using our re-pasturizing and drying equipment and refrigerated transport and storage to bridge the distance between your food sources and the livestock that consume them.

Customer-First

At Nutrition 101, “customer-first” is not a tagline. It’s how we operate.

We listen, we respond, and we align our programs with what matters to your facility. Whether it’s a scheduled diversion program or an unexpected change in volume, our team adapts to keep materials moving and operations stable.

Our long-standing customer relationships are built on a simple principle: we take ownership of the work. When challenges arise, we address them directly with reliability, integrity, and accountability.

Sustainability and ESG

Sustainability requires measurable results.

Nutrition 101 supports customers pursuing zero-waste-to-landfill goals, greenhouse gas reduction targets, and ESG reporting requirements. Our programs are built to align corporate objectives with real operational conditions.

Through structured diversion pathways and documented chain-of-custody tracking, we provide transparent reporting from pickup through verified end use. The result is clear visibility into diversion performance and environmental impact, supported by data that stands up to internal and external review.

Food Waste Diversion

Redirecting food that is no longer suitable for human consumption into animal feed is a long-established practice.

The U.S. EPA recognizes animal feeding as one of the most effective diversion pathways when food cannot remain in the human food supply.

At Nutrition 101, this pathway is managed through structured collection, controlled processing, and coordinated transportation that preserves value while maintaining safety, compliance, and documented end use.

Reliable Nutrition

From our earliest days, providing consistent, high-quality livestock nutrition has been central to our work.

Farms rely on Nutrition 101 for feed that supports herd performance and is delivered reliably throughout the year.
