The Human Nutrient Cycle is an endless natural cycle. In order to keep the cycle intact, food for humans must be grown on the soil that is enriched by the continuous addition of organic materials recycled by humans, such as humanure, food scraps and agricultural residues. By respecting this cycle of nature, humans can maintain the fertility of their agricultural soils indefinitely, instead of depleting them of nutrients, as in common today.When crops are produced from soil, it is imperative that the organic residues resulting from those crops, including animal excrements, are returned to the soil from which the crops originated. This recycling of all organic residues for agricultural purposes should be axiomatic to sustainable agriculture.
Perhaps because there is currently a profound lack of knowledge and understanding about what is referred to as the “human nutrient cycle” and the need to keep the cycle intact.
The human nutrient cycle goes like this:
a) grow food,
b) eat it,
c) collect and process the organic residues (faeces, urine, food scraps, and agricultural materials),
d) return the processed organic material back to the soil, thereby enriching the soil and enabling more food to be grown. The cycle is repeated, endlessly.
This is a sustainable process that mimics the natural cycles of nature and enhances our ability to survive on this planet. When our food refuse is instead discarded as waste, the natural human nutrient cycle is broken, creating problems such as pollution, loss of soil fertility, and abuse of our water resources.
"Are we eating shit?"
Yes, indirectly.
"There is always some degree of the opposite contained in anything that exists."
Example ...
1) Solid: Food(In) -> Shit(Out)
2) Liquid: Drink(In) -> Urine(Out)
3) Gas: Oxygen(In) -> Carbon Dioxide(Out)
What life philosophy can we learn from the Human Nutrient Cycle?
"What You have received, You must Give!"
"We are Linked!"
"Nothing is belong to us. We just borrow for today and need to return the next day."
"All things belong to the Nature, including our body."
"We don't have anything, but we have nothing."
