Composting a humanure mix in sealed enclosures with a regulated exhaust would produce relatively high nitrogen compost. Deliver this locally to growing crops in a just-in-time manner for less nitrogen loss. However, it's hard to see this happening on any meaningful scale, with regard to the current trajectory of modern civilization, especially in the cities.

At scale, in Milwaukee. There have been concerns about contaminants though. Still production and sales have been ongoing since 1926.
