Cost: FREE Presenter: Greg Muth
Biochar and Mountain Microorganisms can replenish soils stressed by decades of agricultural use. These techniques have been shown to improve water retention, nutrient retention, and resistance to disease. Widely accepted culturally in Central and South American countries, the science behind biochar and Mountain Microorganisms use remains an open question. Greg, a St Olaf biochemistry associate professor, will share observations from his sabbatical studying sustainable agricultural practices in Costa Rica.
