Ecodefense is a pretty good and relevant light read!

Also, a lot of ag producers will till biosolids into their fields as fertilizer, which are the leftover spoils from sewage treatment plants. The biosolids are supposed to be composted enough to kill off harmful microbes, but sometimes they don’t get up to kill step temp.

Regardless of complete composting, they usually have residual chemicals that are in the wastewater stream that aren’t removed in wastewater treatment, like pissed out pharma drugs/metabolites, random household chemicals and hazardous waste, PFAs, etc.
