Closed-Loop Management of Forestry Waste Biomass
Forestry activities produce significant volumes of biomass waste, including branches, bark, and leaves left after timber harvesting. Traditionally, this waste is either burned or left to decompose, releasing carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. A more sustainable approach is the closed-loop management of forestry waste biomass through biochar production. This process transforms biomass into a stable form of carbon, offering numerous environmental and economic benefits.

Would today’s mammals have what it takes to survive in a world still ruled by dinosaurs?

The Life-Changing Power of Urban Farming.
The stereotype many of us have of cities being soulless concrete jungles dominated by skyscrapers and highways, and colonies of bustling humans shuttling around in poison-emitting vehicles disconnected from the natural world, thinking about tomorrow and the next dollar while feeling stressed and burned out, has been subtly, almost imperceptibly, shifting before our very eyes.
