No more monkeys jumping on the bed?
You cannot feed 8 billion people with the arable land that we have available without synthetic fertilizer.

Even if we were to Thanos snap the world population and feed those people with only compost/manure/night soil, a large percentage of the labor force would need to go into food production, and cheap food would no longer be a possibility.
Farmers are using all the manure that they have available in the most efficient manner that the market will bear right now and even then I don’t know about any for profit farmer in my extension office who doesn’t use additional synthetic fertilizer.
If you’re in the states look for a local business called a grain elevator or feed supplier. White and red clover is a very standard pasture addition. If you call and ask if they stock bulk quantities of what you want.
Depending on the location they will either stock it or they’ll be the exact kind of people who will know who to contact about it.
Or you can contact your local Ag extension officer. Or your Soil and Water Conservation District office. Both of those sources will be able to plug you in on sources of bulk seeds in your area. These folks are also supremely knowledgeable about all things growing and they’ll be able to recommend some other techniques to make your green space a benefit.
