      That’s a good question – I like pasta – We can’t make poo into pasta directly but we can use it to grow the grains that we use to make pasta.

      Poo has lots of nutrients in it (recycled from the food we eat). Nutrients are essential for plants and animals to grow. We can do certain things to our poo to get these nutrients out so that we can use them again to grow our food. I’m looking for the best way to get the most nutrients out of our poo so that we can feed them to our wheat plants to make pasta from – You know what that means…… More pasta for everyone!!!
