Summary

Discussions and developments in the last 20 years on recycling nutrientsfrom society in organic farming in Denmark. Heavy metal concentrations in sewage sludge have declined substantially over the past decades.
So far we have been unable to identify unwanted effects on soil and crops caused by recycling of societal wastes in accelerated amounts (>200 years of legal doses).
We have rather been surprised by the resilience of the soil ecosystem, and conclude that the resilience of the soil ecosystem and soil biotic communities is generally underappreciated.
The risk associated with agricultural use of Danish sewage sludge is comparable to that of pig slurry, once the EU limits for Zn and Cu addition to pig feed have been fully implemented.
Danish organic farmer organizations agree that recycling from society is preferable to using conventional straw and manure, and are working towards this, even in the case of sewage sludge in the longer term
