1. India produces large amounts of sewage sludge and human waste from septic tanks and pit latrines each year that could provide nutrients to improve soil health, but most of this potential resource goes wasted. 2. Bangalore has poor sanitation infrastructure and treatment, leading to untreated sewage flowing in rivers and pollution. Septic tanks and pit latrines are common. 3. "Honey-sucker" trucks have emerged as an informal sector business to empty pit latrines and septic tanks in Bangalore, transporting the waste to be composted. This waste is a nutrient resource for farmers but also poses health risks if not properly treated.
