About the event
Join us for this month’s Char Talk as we dive into innovative biochar applications and climate resilience strategies with Holly Stanley and Michael Lobato of Matrix Resource Technologies, LLC.
Holly and Michael have pioneered a novel biochar injection method in Fruita, CO, aimed at enhancing soil drought resilience. Their ongoing research examines how this practice could be applied to drought-prone regions worldwide. Plus, stay tuned for a possible guest appearance by Gerald Nelson, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois!
They’ll discuss:
Their groundbreaking biochar injection research
Insights from their work as academics, farmers, and conservationists
The impact of biochar on soil health and drought mitigation
The intersection of academic research, climate policy, and agriculture
Join us this Friday, March 21, from 12–1 PM Central Time (UTC -6) to explore how biochar and research-driven solutions are shaping the future of sustainable agriculture. If you can’t attend, a recording, transcript, and presentation materials will be shared afterward. See Teams details below.
