You'd need to cite some sources for that. And explain where the millions of tons of animal manure go.

- ClumsyPilot 3y ago> Here in Northern Europe 100% of manure from housed animals is used, That's the wrong statistics to look it - 100% of waste coffee is used. They already have it, good management will figure out a way to use it. But you cannot make an argument that we have to keep drinking coffee because fertiliser industry will collapse without waste coffee.
