Don't use treated sewage or humanure on agricultural fields or as fertilizer.
Sewage treatment doesn't kill all the #parasites or their #eggs.
Those #soils are now #parasitized...
Beware bagged soil products, too.

Meanwhile my first experience with Lisa Fithian was a bunch of us doing activist summer camp on a permaculture farm in Lancaster and I got the runs and ended up essentially stationed in an outdoor humanure stall all evening

Tangentially, I wish the vivid memory was a glamorous one but it involved me getting food poisoning from the spaghetti and having a very unpleasant night trekking back and forth repeatedly between the campground and the humanure booth

I figured out a composting solution for adding greens to the humanure compost by planting comfrey all around the bins so we can chop and drop greenery in with the straw and sawdust. It will also be pretty and make the pollinators and fruit trees happy.

In a world of water shortages & failing infrastructure, the simple, time-tested strategy of composting your own poop can be a literal lifesaver. Jenkins' book is a blueprint for normalizing an important system that works with nature, not against it.

Humanure can be a great solution to fertility loss around the world, but I think it's highly dependent on the diet of the manure producer. Eat shit, shit shit.

Like, my most vivid memory of Lisa comes from a training she did at a 2007 New SDS summer camp we did out at a farm in Lancaster.
We were in tents. Pooping in "humanure" toilets eating bulk-cooked spaghetti and can sauce.
She's not exactly out there getting paid bank and put up at the Ritz.

Also, speaking as someone who actually has done a fair amount of professional agitation training, there are places you get paid and places you're just doing it because they need you.
And student protests are NOT lining anyone's pockets in any way.

Counter argument: Chinese cuisine tends to heavily favor cooked foods, in part, because of their historical reliance on humanure and they managed to make flavorful dishes that weren't aggressively overcooked.
