The added efficiencies in composting could also help solve the massive problems with monoculture farming. Imagine this approach for replenishing the nutrients in an acre of overused farmland: 1. Container full of food scraps, bio waste, and carbon scraps arrive from city, get spread over fallow land 2. Maggots are released, reproduce, ingest meat scraps 3. Chickens are introduced into environment, eat maggots and larger scraps, release compost as manure and scratched bedding 4. Remaining maggots and waste is collected, maybe dumped to tilapia or pigs 5. Replenished field is plowed for cash crop, nitrogen releasers, or untouched for a season to allow grasses to grow as grazing land EDIT: Admission time - I wrote this article before reading the article about the maggot cultivating process. I'm just a little passionate about armchair-ecology. Maybe this process could be completed in a mobile facility that moves from acre to acre on a monthly basis?
