| Research Abstract |
This research examines the recycling process of organic wastes in modern British agriculture from the perspective of sustainability. Evidence was gathered by investigating local primary sources. Specially, this study proves that night-soil collected in urban areas was recycled in suburban areas, and that marine resources, such as fish waste and seaweed, were used in agriculture. These were demonstrated by obtaining the date on the price of manure and noting the method of collection. This implies that economic activities, such as fishery, organic agriculture, and public cleansing service as a whole, promoted the nutrient cycle, including phosphorus cycle, taking place between the sea, agricultural land, and urban areas in Britain.
