In agriculture we cut hay, dry it, bale it, store it in the barn and feed it to cows. In decompiculture one would use food processing wastes, feed lot manure, saw mill waste, paper mill waste, organic municipal solid waste, paper waste, scrap lumber, wood chips, etc. These lignocellulosic waste materials would be chipped, arranged in piles or windrows, inoculated with termites or other detritivores, methane emissions would be captured, compost would be produced, and the detritivore biomass would be harvested as feed for poultry or aquaculture production. Less than ten percent of the world's termite species are pests. There is considerable loss and inefficiency in the processing of many food, wood, and fibre products.
Termites are nature's answer to the bio-conversion efficiency problem.
They are the link between plant fibre production and higher food chains. Distinct from agriculture, and although a simple idea, to achieve it will require a huge shift. I believe it could be the next great leap forward in the way humanity views its relationship to the global ecosystem. All we have to do is pick some seeds, dig some holes, put the seeds in the holes and water them. Of course everybody grunts and goes back to gnawing their bones.
