If the temps are high enough, composting can kill pathogens.

 

Not really my point and I did say risk.

Main issue is keeping our plants supplied(and us fed), while needing more as our population grows. Artificial sources have helped a great deal there.

Indeed, the numbers don't add up.

It may be simplistic, but as far as I can tell the "circle of life" will continue to be important until a significant amount of material can be exchanged between this planet and another.

We are currently "borrowing" more nitrogen from the atmosphere, but that's' where most of it still ends up.
