In this episode, we're joined by Kathleen Draper, the Board Chair of the International Biochar Initiative. We chat about the past 3 decades of biochar research, its limitations, and its potential. While biochar gets most of its attention around building soil, it has a number of other potential uses which should be getting just as much attention as its role in some soils. Tune in to learn about some of the many research projects going on across the globe around biochar!

Kathleen Draper is the co-author of BURN: Using Fire to Cool the Earth & is the Board Chair of International Biochar Initiative
