Until recently I thought that human waste wasn’t used for fertilizer, but I learned that it is. The water treatment plant separates the solids out, composts them, and then it’s sold as “biosolids” to spray on the crop fields.

Composting kills bacteria and parasites when done properly. You should still wash your veggies, but composed human waste is wildly different from non composted human waste.
