Like Polyface farms in the Omnivore’s Dilemma, a book about the politicization of food and its cultural ties to national identity:
is a showcase for what economist Timothy Considine calls “industrial symbiosis, where waste from one industrial plant is used as inputs for another.” [...] The sludge from the pharmaceutical plant’s yeast-based processes fertilizes farmers’ fields. Like symbiosis between plants or animals, what one partner excretes the other needs. One industry’s trash is another’s treasure.
