From a chemistry POV, this probably fine.

You can also tan leather, fix organic dyes, case harden metal, and make gunpowder with it.

Northern European adult urinates enough to grow from 50 to 100 percent of the food another person needs.

Read that again and think about it..............

darn. Those researchers never heard of earthworm castings. Can’t get more natural than that. And it’s dirt cheap too!
Then there’s chicken, cow, horse manure. Might as well add some bull to that.

Actually false. I accidentally killed my wife’s flower garden with that.

You mean not just for beer?

I live in a rural area and will sometimes just step behind the house to urinate. I got to noticing that in that general area the grass was dying.

After a few months it came back and was the best looking grass in the yard. I guess it kills it first then fertilizes it.

Soon after moving to Switzerland we learned why the countryside was so beautifully green - after following a “honey-pot truck” making its way between the fields. Bad smell when freshly applied - but did make things grow.

Ahhh, pretty soon it’ll be Night Soil. And then we’ll totally be back in pagan, pre-civilized days.

I know dried chicken urea is available in boxes for use as fertilizer.

noting that a Swedish study found that a Northern European adult urinates enough to grow from 50 to 100 percent of the food another person needs.

And according to healthline.com: The normal range of urine output is 800 to 2,000 milliliters per day if you have a normal fluid intake of about 2 liters per day.

Let's take the average of 1400 ml per day. That's 130 gallons per year. I pay about 0.5 cents per gallon incremental price for water, so I have $0.65 worth of water in my urine per year. Is it worth the effort to figure out how to filter it out and water crops with it? Well, maybe use it to water crops or fight forest fires in California.

This is wonderful.
I think that wastewater from the Washington DC area should be recycled right to the Capitol building - that would be an excellent start.

Ancient Rome required people to pee in buckets for collection. Useful stuff.

Some plants already incinerate sewage sludge to produce sewage ash, which contains 5-10% potassium and can be used as fertilizer or a fine aggregate substitute in asphalt.
