The use of human waste in agriculture has a long history. For example, the Romans used waste as a fertiliser. More recently, Sweden has taken the lead in recycling and reusing human excreta. The city of Stockholm has supported the introduction of ecological sanitation in middle class housing areas where the urine is centrally collected, stored and spread on farmland as fertiliser. A project funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida, and carried out by the United Nations Development Programme is promoting further development of ecological sanitation.
