On the outskirts of Kathmandu, Siddhipur village has rediscovered the value of urine. More than 100 toilets in the village divert urine to farms, where it is used as fertilizer. It is not a new practice, though. The village was recycling urine before modern fertilizers were introduced. “In the past, people would urinate in a pit of ash and rice husk under their staircase. They would then use the composted material as fertilizer,” said Jiban Maharjan of Siddhipur.
