Municipal scale infrastructure to capture waste, treat it, and extract nutrients to be redistributed or sold as fertilizer. This is usually an activity undertaken by and fit into existing municipal waste infrastructure.
The atomization of decision-making allows entrenched interests to disrupt progress. If you’ve ever been to a city planning meeting, you can see how NIMBY homeowners block transit upgrades or affordable housing. Sometimes consensus is impossible

Ooooh interesting, good to know! I suppose inoculation is a process that is not particularly complex that a localized society could also achieve.
I like to chop it up, fry it with onions, and put it in burritos. Breakfast burritos especially with egg, bacon or sausage, and cheese.
