Two years after California launched an effort to keep organic waste out of landfills, the state is so far behind on getting food recycling programs up and running that it's widely accepted next year's ambitious waste-reduction targets won't be met.

California's goal is to keep that waste from piling up in landfills, instead turning it into compost or biogas.
