Apologies for the short notice, this is a heads up about something I'm involved with at the Off-Grid Festival in Devon this weekend. There will be a Restorative Agriculture Zone, presided over by biochar market gardener Ed Revill: Carbon in the sky contributes to climate change. Carbon in the soil enriches the soil in ways which reduce the needs for inputs when growing crops. We will be conducting talks and workshops throughout the festival for gardeners, growers and for people wanting to know how to meet their needs in ways which heal the Earth and reverse causes of climate change. Soil Carbon Influencing Factors, Agroecology, Full Cycle Biochar, Biochar Stove Technology We will also bring along biochar producing ovens and run sourdough bread making workshops throughout the festival using these ovens. ...as well as the first public outing of the Soil Carbon Project (working name): Our aim is simple - to get you to join us in the effort to sequester as much atmospheric carbon into soils as is humanly possible, ASAP. We already have all the technology we need at our disposal. Why? At the same time as removing excess CO2 from our atmosphere, it will start to reverse the wholesale destruction of our soils, produce the highly nutrient dense foods we desperately need, and with your support, grow an economy founded on healing the earth, not devouring it. This is something everyone can become involved in in some way – come and find out more. More on the latter to be posted here in due course. Hopefully a full on revival of this list will ensue...
