- https://foodtank.com/news/2023/01/is-recycling-urine-the-secret-to-building-sustainable-food-systems/
Notes from meeting:
Context
- Sewage treatment never work for nature and clean system
Therefore never solved. - Poo ok but urine hard/impossible to separate ‘cleanly’.
- + use of minerals from urine wasted
- Could be used on land – help – fertiliser
Circular regenerative living system
- Excites people; empowers; agency – not relying on authorities
- Equipment need
- Site for testing system – for a disposal system
- First urination of the day = 50% less impact
- A usable safe step for people – Compost, hay bale etc
Action group members: Gwenda lead, Cerys, Piers, Lucy, Keith, Yusaf, Pamela

23 May 2023 at 22:29 #104GwendaParticipantThanks Dave for some really good links that set the scene for the development of PeeCeiclioAfonTeifi.
here is a short film showing how a group of people in Vermont established a system of getting urban pee to the fields. I think we can do it here in Aberteifi/ Llandudoch/Llechryd/ Cilgerran. -and indeed all along the Tivyside so that we can maintain our river in good health. Please take a look at how we could put this together. It’s inspiring
