🌱Composting is a way to convert food scraps and yard trimmings into fertilizer, reducing waste and replenishing soil nutrients.
💩Biosolids, solids from wastewater, can be processed to create safe fertilizer, but concerns remain about the presence of pathogens and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
🌍Both composting and the use of biosolids have ecological benefits, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and preventing waste from ending up in landfills or waterways.
🔬Further research is needed to better understand the safety and potential risks associated with the use of biosolids, ensuring they do not contribute to antibiotic resistance or harm human health.
🌱Composting and the use of biosolids have the potential to be sustainable solutions for improving soil health and reducing waste.
