He joins me to share his passion for terra preta soil and biochar and how he turned that love into an entrepreneurial business bringing a regenerative product to market. Along the way, he shares the difference between simply burning something and calling biochar versus creating a carbon-rich, mineralized biochar, the importance of nutrient ratios for sustainable growing, and much more.   More Information on Terra Preta and Biochar Terra Preta (Wikipedia) Biochar (Wikipedia) The Biochar Solution by Albert Bates Burn by Albert Bates and Kathleen Draper Related Interviews Dr. Elaine Ingham - The Soil Food Web Eric Toensmeier - Drawing Down Carbon: Agroforestry and Climate Change Permabyte: Biochar, Gasification, and Woodlot Management Mary Johnson - An Introduction to Nutrient Dense Farming Connor Stedman - Carbon Farming - Soil   Learn More
