It can help solve a myriad of problems by providing affordable toilets in water-scarce areas, and returning compost rich in beneficial microorganisms, as well as ample quantities of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to depleted soils, reclaiming nutrients to make organic soil conditioners and fertilisers.
Louise Brown, the first baby conceived through IVF, had been born, and we knew by then that DNA wasn't destroyed by nitrogen.
Sheepdrove wasn't organic when they took it over; it has taken five years of hard work, setting about crop rotation to fix the nitrogen, dealing with blackweed and other botanical pests, and bringing the land into a natural state of health.

They are hung upside down, so if there is a problem with the nitrogen supply, the last thing that will be affected is the brain.
It has an atmosphere of nitrogen and methane and a surface temperature of about minus 230C.
The Houston area has 38% of the total US oil refining, and its emissions, together with those from vehicles, are a key contributor to the ozone formed when sunlight reacts with nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds.
Toxic nitric oxide and nitrogen oxide levels stand at 252 microgrammes per cubic metre (mcg/m3) more than three times the safe limit of 80 mcg/m3.
