Bega's bid to become a circular economy to reduce waste ♻️ 🐔 🐄 🥛🧀 🗑️ | ABC Australia 

To be fair, circularity is just a new word for permaculture. Growing up in NZ, there was a family we hung out with that lived entirely off-grid, using a composting toilet, growing their own food, and wearing only woollen and cotton clothes. They called it a permaculture lifestyle, but these days people are calling it circularity.

Haha I know that guy 😀

Introducing it to Australia? People have been doing this in the Northern Rivers for well over 20 years. :( sad, credit is only given where and when the media spotlight chooses.

Labiotech had an interesting article on that in 2021. Feed Additives Put the Brakes on Cattle Methane Emissions

You may find a use for the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly. If they're new, just search for related blogs and commercial websites. The BSF is a composter's dream critter, if the temperature they generate is managed. Darling Ingredients acquired EnviroFlight, which was the innovator that developed the industrial systems for growing the BSF larvae. They harvested prior to maturity and made dried meal for feeding poultry and farmed fish. Darling Ingredients describes itself as an enabler of Circular Economies: quote: As a world leader in circularity, we transform materials from the animal agriculture and food industries into valuable ingredients. Ingredients that nourish people, feed animals and crops, and fuel the world with renewable energy. This is supported through three segments within our operations: Feed, Food and Fuel. For those of us who are a tad more local than that, there's always Soldier Fly Technologies which has a great online presence, and there are also a number of hobby BSF sites out there that spun off the original BSF blog of a guy named Jerry who was a fishpond man in Georgia USA who routed his mature grubs via PVC tubing from their compost bins (which they leave when they mature to go find a dry place to pupate) to right over the center of his ponds, where the fish awaited their 30% protein 40% fat treats.

A commercial pig farmer in SA uses their effluent to breed flies that become feed for the commercial chicken farm next door, so the thinking is there already keep youe research

@@jolindo6724 synchronicity - I just responded to @loverlyme right above your post about that very subject.

So, tell me how chickens eating plants that contain the nutrients from the soil and then taking the eggs which contain those nutrients and leaving only the poop which contain only a small part of the ingested nutrients will make the land more fertile. Also the chickens cannot produce nitrogen compounds from the air, they tae the nitrogen from the soil and only a part of them are excreted the rest remains in the eggs and in the meat of the chickens. In fact without fertilizers the land will be depleted.

I built my own house in the 1980s and part of my plan was to make it easily disassemblable, while still being cyclone resistant. I'm still in it.
