In a hands-on workshop featuring a flame cap demo, Phil will cover a range of topics, including production methods, feedstocks, material handling, inoculation, and all sorts of applications for biochar. We will also discuss the role of trees and how they integrate with pastoral and cropping systems, and how maintaining a succession regime provides multiple yields to the system.

Produced in partnership with Quorum Sense, with support from RECAP, BNNZ, and MIddle Districts NZFFA.
