If prices keep going up, local agriculture may become competitive again!
Nah, unless we start making our own, we'll always be hamstrung by the price of fertilizer..

Ho Brah, you gave me one idea. No need fertilizer. Carbon neutral solution to multiple problems.
No more SPAM but choke pigs. We can make our own Big Island SPAM-like Product!
Hmmm what to call it....

We can name it:
“MAᑫƧ”
In the mirror, the name will spell SPAM

"BANG". The can will be taller than a regular SPAM can (lifted) but come with some dents and rust. Behind the name will be the picture of a boar in a truck bed.
We make plenty of fertilizer on this island, just gotta follow the politicians around...
Seriously though, I wonder if human waste could be safely processed into fertilizer?

Funny stuff.
And you are right. We don't need to buy inputs from the mainland. There are choke options.
Get a copy of The Humanure Handbook.

Obie, don't be afraid of a little night soil! It could be treated to kill diseases. I don't think all the pharmaceuticals can be removed, but hey, free pharmaceuticals!

We could model it after the North Korean method.
Heck, there could be some rather high paying County jobs created as well!

We are way ahead of them. You can even buy Hawaii Human Poo, without knowing it usually, at Hilo Wal-Mart. Niu - brand products. Change the name to "biosolids" make it a pellet and voila, the magic of marketing BS (no pun intended) has Obie eating veggies nourished with Human poo from his garden and favorite farmer's market. It's widespread. Like, Literally.
