Seven billion people are urinating every day, excreting 28 million tonnes of nitrogen (N) a year (Vinneräs, 2002). This mass of N excreted is equal to 26% of the annual global N fertilizer demand, a value of $21.3 trillion USD (based on $350 USD per metric tonne of urea) (Alibaba, 2012, FAO, 2011). The use of human excreta as N fertilizer would allow the recovery of nutrients, resulting in savings for farmers, and counter the threat to people's health by reducing contact with untreated human waste. This practice, termed ecological sanitation (EcoSan), has a long history of application in traditional agricultural contexts, but has a limited scientific knowledge base. This thesis builds upon the scientific knowledge base by: (1) analyzing the...
