Perspectives
To write this article was great pleasure while I was a visiting professor at the University of California Berkeley. Considering more than 50% of world population live in cities and in Brazil is higher than 80%, this alternative approach of sanitation can contribute to eradicating hunger and also, saves water and recover nutrients. I hope our article can be useful students, researchers, and professionals from public health. engineering and agriculture.
