Join Sustainable Nantucket and Bill Hilgendorf, Director of Biochar and Sustainability at White Feather Farm (NY), to learn about the upcycling process of making Biochar, the environmental benefits of using Biochar material, and the next steps in Nantucket receiving its own Biochar generator. Biochar is considered the future of farming, an aid in adapting to climate change, and a tool for carbon emissions removal.
"Biochar is a charcoal-like product made from sustainably sourced organic materials, either low-value or waste materials, for use in agricultural, environmental, and even building materials. It is one of the most readily available tools for soil, agronomic, climate, and ecosystem benefits. It has significant potential to improve soil health, aid in waste management, provide clean energy, and aid in climate mitigation and adaptation. " - White Feather Farm
