Hey, I just want to thank you for the book recommendation. Reading the preface to "A Treatise on Efficacy: Between Western and Chinese Thinking"[1] it seems to codify a lot that I've previously thought about.
And as a topical aside, I can personally vouch for the practicality of humanure[2] and ph-adjusted urine-capture[3]. They are indeed simpler, scalable, and well within that sweetspot of minimal inputs and maximal outputs, particularly when it comes to fertility.

(The guy who found a method to break down DDT in 40 days and had worked on a superfund site that had the EPA top 10 pollutants). https://youtu.be/SeQotnmhO5I?si=4DTDGC0FFFGbPZEr https://youtu.be/SeQotnmhO5I?si=4DTDGC0FFFGbPZEr
