Govt lays out scientific ‘roadmap’
The roadmap is discussed at the RNZ website, linked above.
I’ve searched the document for reference to biochar… zero results but no surprise there.
I then searched on ‘soil’. There is some mention or hint at soil services in Theme 1 – Climate change and Theme 4 – Land ecosystems and processes. This looks like a great opportunity to get more focus on biochar’s potential to provide environmental services under almost all of the themes described. We should rally around this opportunity… please consider making a submission.
If you are interested in a collaborative effort, then please get in touch.
