The Humanure Handbook: The Invention of Waste — A Broken Nutrient Cycle
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores The Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins as a systems-level analysis of the human nutrient cycle.
The discussion examines how sanitation infrastructure, agricultural systems, water management, and cultural perceptions of waste interact to produce long-term environmental outcomes. Viewed structurally, the book raises a deeper question about whether civilization is designed to recycle nutrients or discard them.
