Dylan kicks off season 2 of CCC with a focus on the dairy farm. This fits nicely with the new BNNZ feature on dairy: https://biochar.net.nz/about-biochar/economic-applications/dairy-cows-and-biochar

Lots of great content on all things agriculture on TheDig: https://www.quorumsense.org.nz/the-dig-online-community
Congrats to Thabiso & his team.
Lets grow the community & contractor scale operations around NZ. Check out the Napachar blueprint: https://groups.io/g/BNNZ/message/1120
And while I have your attention… You should have received a direct email on making a MfE submission by 26Nov. to raise the profile of biochar as farming solution for NZ climate targets. BNNZ chair has also suggested highlighting “the scope of Denmark’s biochar initiative and how something similar could happen here at even greater scale and with more commercial opportunities (we have a forestry industry and they don’t). “
“Through this partnership, Christchurch will receive approximately $2.9 million in funding to deliver two research projects in the OARC.
The projects will focus on:
Establishing plantings of native species to improve biodiversity and climate resilience, while developing models for renewable harvesting in the biomaterials sector.
Testing soil amendments like biochar and microbial additions to enrich depleted soils, enhance carbon sequestration and measure changes in soil health.”
Enjoying SC’s marketing work here.
I’m a bit slow finding this presentation to the Compost Collective among some other interesting talks on composting. A City-to-Farm project presentation is also part of the series: https://youtu.be/rWbRzpd4vxE?si=cprYuilXnbfzRmAU
Dylan has followed up his reporting on the old ALS video (poached by me) with this interview.
Really nice interview and worthy of a deeper dive… check out her work here with Monique Jansen…
I’ve just discovered this coverage Co/ Advance Landscape Systems. This project was covered previously:
