DESCRIPTION:Our 4th Food for Thought Lecture for 2018 will feature a look a
 t waste disposal with Postdoctoral Research Fellow Michael Boh (Bioresourc
 e Engineering)\n\nFor millennia\, human excreta often has been treated as 
 a waste product to disposed of in spite of documented evidence of its valu
 e to improve soil health. Management systems are engineered to “flush and 
 forget” human excreta through sewer systems. Then excreta eventually ends 
 up in water bodies after undergoing varying degrees of processing. In this
  process organic matter and valuable plant nutrients are lost\, in most ca
 ses causing eutrophication as seen in the rapid growth of algae in the rec
 eiving waters. Apart from the loss of aquatic ecosystem services\, of grow
 ing concern is the loss of phosphorus which is derived non-renewable rock 
 phosphates. This loss of non-renewable nutrient threatens the sustainabili
 ty of our food production systems. Rapid population growth and urbanizatio
 n demands that urgent solutions to this wasteful approach to human excreta
  management be developed. Is closing the loop on poop the way to go?\n\n
