BioChar:
Used by indigenous people in the Amazon basin, Terra Preta, the black soil, is known for its high fertility.
Even though it was used for thousands of years, we only come to understand its magic ingredient, Biochar, for less than 2 decades.
Coined by Dr. Peter Read in 2005, BioChar has some amazing properties.
It can be used to re-condition degraded soil, added to animal feed, and even serve as a natural carbon sink.
It literally ticks all the boxes. Despite all the promising features, it didn’t take off when the hype was at its peak in the 2000s.
With ESG being kicked into overdrive, there is no surprise that we are witnessing a resurgence of interest in BioChar.
Does BioChar deserve a comeback?
Let’s find out together in this episode.
