Why Human Waste Might Be the Future of Farming

What are the benefits of using human waste to fertilize plants? Co-host of the Gastropod podcast Nicola Twilley explains how this practice can cut down on energy usage. We currently use a lot of energy to produce fertilizer to grow our food, as well as to clean up our waste and keep our oceans and rivers clean. Urine can be used to fertilize crops safely, as seen in the Paris Olympics - a neighborhood is having its urine diverted to fertilize wheat fields. What do you think of this sustainability solution?
