American Farmland Trust (non-profit organization), US Biochar Initiative (non-profit organization), the University of Nebraska, and Cornell University are working on a Conservation Innovation Grant to test biochar across the U.S. with on-farm research. If you are interested in conducting on-farm research with biochar, please contact Dr. Guillermo Balboa or Michael Kaiser.
yoIf you are a farmer applying or interested in applying biochar, please take our national biochar survey. You have the opportunity to enter a drawing to win a $100 gift card as a thank you for your participation. The survey will take around 15 minutes to complete.
The goal of this survey is to better understand who is applying biochar, and why and where. We aim to identify the factors influencing farmers’ success and persistence with applying biochar on their farms and examine the possible barriers. The survey results will provide a blueprint for supporting greater successful adoption of sustainable, fit-for-purpose biochar use among farmers.
If you are an ag service or biochar provider, please share this survey broadly with your network to get it into the hands of farmers who use or are interested in biochar. We greatly appreciate any help in widely disseminating this national survey.
