Sporting Kansas City is trying to do their part to help combat climate change.
The club gave a presentation this week at the Sustainable Agriculture Summit in Indianapolis on Wednesday, going over the steps they've implemented to recycle the excess food waste that accumulates at their home matches.
Starting near the beginning of the 2018 season, Sporting started taking all the leftover food from concession stands and private suites and turning it over to a biotech service that recycles it and turns it into fertilizer. It's an idea that started back in 2017 when Bradford Warner, vice president of marketing and sustainability for local agricultural firm Agspring, pitched the idea to club brass and found there was mutual interest in the concept.
