Now, a new study in Frontiers in Environmental Science has shown that modern ‘green’ products recycled from human excreta are excellent – and importantly, safe – fertilizers for agriculture. Urine is especially rich in nitrogen and potassium, and also contains trace amounts of metals such as boron, zinc, and iron.
