The mayor of Brazil’s capital is promoting the idea that dry pellets, popularly referred to as “dog food,” are the answer to the country’s hunger crisis.

The pellets, called farinata, are made of collected food waste that is on the verge of going bad. Sao Paulo’s mayor presented farinata at a press conference in hopes of gaining wider acceptance.
