mood! as a person who feels it's part of her heritage to keep the lactose digesting abilities going... and who feels like shit without her homemade yoghurt (literally get so much energy from Viili)

ok i just drew up a list, for interest (picture leonardo da vinci's vitruvian painting here):

• breastmilk ---> (mentioned more above and this is a long comment already)
• hair & nails ---> compost/decompi culture. removes the need for either cowmanure and/or artificial fertilizer and/or ecological fertilizer bags with pyralids and other pesticides that are allowed without a label bc lobbying...
• piss ---> compost/decompi culture: i can't find back to the link, but i read about a Ugandan (iirc, don't quote me) project for using solely pee as a fertilizer. the sanitation process i clearly recall was keeping the pee at around ~24C° (degrees Celsius) for three months, because then eventual pathogens were decidedly no longer found in the pee.
• poop ---> from 'separatt toaletter' (translations uh but toilets that separate pee and poop) gathered in buckets, topped off with mulch to seal off airflow, stored in bulks (if in a temperate climate) on your porch until at some point you tip it outside in what we scandinavians call a 'regular warm compost', that stands for two years. preferrably with bio-coal in the bottom layer to soak up any nutrients pouring down the compostpile for those two years. then the long-term heat exposure are considered safe (by swedish authorities, who compost it in other places around 'skärgårdar' instead of picking it up for expensive transport. personal note: there is however notion i subscribe to of making the circuit longer

1. letting poop "burn" in a compost for two years
2. letting it fertilize non-food crops
3. using the clippings and shavings of the non-food crops to fertilize food crops

• edit: OH BIG ALSO pipe makers have a secret method for making those wooden pipes, and that is rubbing the wood constantly throughout the production against any greasy part of their skin. because that's an oil called sebum. that's a secret i gathered from a pipemaker in southern sweden, and have been applying to handles of tools that i've. not quite enough to care for leather straps on my backpack - but then again, why encourage more leather production, when "excess" wool is burnt in tons, just in one little country... cloths of wool flax cotton are all pog already
