About the Rich Earth Institute:

The Rich Earth Institute advances the practice of peecycling:  reclaiming "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 a local fertilizer, and conserve clean water. For over a decade, the Rich Earth Institute has operated the nations first and largest community-scale peecycling program. Learn more at richearthinstitute.org
