Role of Farmers in Improving the Sustainability of Sanitation Systems

Vers une valorisation des urines humaines

“…À ce jour, bien qu'il n'existe pas encore de production-distribution d'UF avec des volumes représentatifs pouvant intéresser les agriculteurs, les opérateurs de l'assainissement pourraient aisément se saisir du sujet, du moins d'un point de vue technique. Par ailleurs, le raisonnement économique constitue un frein : il y a une absence de demande due à une absence de disponibilité [Jönsson et al 2010]. Un effet de seuil est attendu mais seule la mise en oeuvre d'une filière à taille réelle permettrait de le mesurer.…”

Regenerative sanitation foundations

“…The farmers were required annually to submit documentation on which urine installation they had emptied (Jönsson et al, 2010;Tidåker, 2007;van Vliet et al, 2011). This illustration clearly shows how the PaP principle can synergize ReGenSan with regenerative agriculture and aquaculture.…”

“…To further advance and support resource recovery in sanitation spheres, the World Health In 1999, 22 households using urine-separating toilets in the Haga-Ecovillage, Uppsala, initiated early contact with cereal production farmers within the neighborhood. The farmers accepted the urine only when paid the cost for the spreading (Jönsson et al, 2010). In 2006, about 130 households had urine separation systems in Norrkoping, and in the same manner early contact was made with farmers, who stored the urine and reused it in the spring, but without any payment either way (Jönsson et al, 2010;van Vliet et al, 2011).…”

Also, in 1998 Tanum municipality, Sweden, started to require urine separation for all new houses with on-site sanitation systems, and in 2006 there were more than 400 permits issued for urine separation systems.…”

Closing the food loops: guidelines and criteria for improving nutrient management

“…Providing an arena for communication and collaboration among stakeholders at an early stage of policy implementation increases the potential for a well-functioning recovery system, both from an organizational and environmental point of view (Jönsson et al 2010). A number of the policy actions outlined in Table 2 can act as starting points for establishing the necessary collaboration across sectors.…”
