Biochar and Soil Health in New Mexico

August 18, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Are you interested in how biochar can work as a soil amendment in New Mexico?

Through her work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sanna Sevanto is conducting research on the impact of compost and biochar on plant growth. In addition to seeing the way the research is playing out in a controlled greenhouse setting, we’ll also be visiting her field plots, which are located underneath solar panels at the NNMC campus in El Rito. If you are interested in how biochar can work as a soil amendment in New Mexico, please join us! We’ll be talking specifically about opportunities to continue the research Sanna is doing in order to answer the specific questions that people who want to make and use biochar have about how it will impact soils and crops in New Mexico. Bring your curiosity and questions!

Contact CJ Ames, cj.ames@quiviracoalition.org, with any questions.
