As your info says, the use of night soil in E. Asia had gone down dramatically several decades ago with the proliferation of chemical fertilizers.N. Korea is regressing back by Kim urging the more use of night soils. With no public health system to contain parasite epidemic, it is out of control.

This makes it sound like this is the first time human shit has been used to fertilize fields.

My mom went to live with my dad outside of Tokyo in 1953. She said it took quite a while to get used to the smell of shit. And she grew up on a farm.

Yeah, I know. It is misleading. Kim's order was to dramatically boost night soil use, while there is no system in place to contain parasite epidemic.
