PARIS: 'Go pee on the rhubarb!'Engineer Fabien Esculier has never forgotten his grandmother's unconventional approach to gardening — in fact, it has inspired his career.Human urine may seem like a crude way of fertilizing plants in the era of industrial agriculture, but as researchers look for ways to reduce reliance on chemicals and cut environmental pollution, some are growing increasingly interested in the potential of pee.
A pilot project to do just that began in Sweden in the early 1990s in a selection of eco-villages.Now there are projects in Switzerland, Germany, the US, South Africa, Ethiopia, India, Mexico and France.'It takes a long time to introduce ecological innovations and especially an innovation such as urine separation which is very radical,' said Tove Larsen, a researcher at Switzerland's Eawag aquatic research institute.
