Production and Application of Biochar in Agricultural Practices at Small and Underserved Farms
Soil Enhancement, Carbon Sequestration, and promoting Climate-Smart Commodities
This project, led by minority serving university Florida A&M, plans to develop biochar-based climate-smart practices and technologies that may be implemented on farms, especially on underserved farms, and to market the resulting climate-smart commodities. In addition to free training and consulting, the producers are planned to receive a financial stimulus per acre of farmland used to implement climate-smart practices using biochar such as soil amendment, water infiltration and manure composting. Partner institutes and companies plan to contract with the landowners and producers to purchase some of the resulting commodities for research, product development, and food manufacturing purposes.
