Much of this is already being done. Most sewage treatment plants in America provide fertilizer to farmers in their areas (up to several hundred miles away). The smaller communities and modest size cities often have liquid spray trucks that farmers have come in, and larger cities may process it into a bagged product.
It used to be that most golf courses in American used Milorganite fertilizer as their preferred way to produce that luscious green grass (many still do), and a lot of other lawn care professionals in at least the Midwest use it. The "Mil" stands for Milwaukee, as in the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District has been producing and selling it since 1926. Its considered so good and reasonably priced that there is typically more demand for it than they can produce each year, so some stores run out at times.
It would make sense to try and recycle body waste, so, why don't we?
