Food waste contains large amount of organic matter, which can
serve as good organic feed stocks to drive electricity production in
microbial fuel cells (MFCs) (Li et al., 2013). It has been proven that
MFC could be implemented successfully in a solid fermentation
process of food waste (Choi and Ahn, 2015). The benefit of MFC
for food waste treatment are along the lines of safe, clean, efficient
and direct electricity production along with organic matter
removal. However, food wastes treatment in MFCs is still expensive
since costly membranes and mechanical aeration is required
(Gajda et al., 2015).
