Peecycling for Clean Water & Fertile Farms

Join the Rich Earth Institute to learn about the paradigm-shifting practice of peecycling: reclaiming a "waste" as a resource to complete the food nutrient cycle. Human urine contains vital nutrients for growing crops. By reclaiming urine as an agricultural resource, communities can prevent downstream pollution, access an abundance of local fertilizer, and conserve clean water. For over a decade, the Rich Earth Institute has operated the nation's first and largest community-scale peecycling program.

In this presentation, Education Director Julia Cavicchi will delve into how this program works and provide an overview of the Institute's research. She'll also introduce the basics of how gardeners everywhere can safely and effectively fertilize crops with urine in your own backyard. Peecycling kits will be available for interested participants to take home after the workshop. After the presentation, there will be discussion time for you to share your experiences and questions about peecycling.
