      abstract = {Recently, the application of excreta-based fertilizers has  attracted attention due to the strongly increasing prices  of chemically produced fertilizers. Faecal sludge from  on-site sanitation systems is rich in nutrients and organic  matter, constituents which contribute to replenishing the  humus layer and soil nutrient reservoir and to improving  soil structure and water-holding capacity. Hence, it  represents an important resource for enhancing soil  productivity on a sustainable basis. However, there is  little in the scientific literature about the performance  of treatment technology allowing recovery of nutrient  resources from human waste. This paper reviews the state of  knowledge of different processes that have been applied  worldwide. Their pathogen removal efficiency as well as  nutrient and biosolids recovery performances are assessed.  The chapter outlines the gaps in research for further  development.},
