  1. Here’s a good site that outlines some stuff: http://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_agriculture/science_and_impacts/science/sustainable-agriculture.html

    Crop rotation is one method.

    I’m really interested in permaculture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture

    good luck!

  2. The sewage from the people who eat the food would have to be applied to fertilize the fields where the food was grown. Dead people would have to be buried in those fields too (mustn’t waste the calcium and phosphorus of the bones).
    Good luck with that.
