Biochar Climate Change Mitigation FDCE

The Promising Role of Biochar in Mitigating Climate Change

To successfully mitigate climate change, alternative energies and sustainable materials like biochar must be integrated into modern agricultural practices. Comprised of organic animal and plant material, biochar is a type of charcoal that can collect and store carbon. Over the past two decades, thousands of studies have shown that the utilization of biochar can positively […]

What Can Bioenergy Do?

With the onset of climate change, scientists have been working diligently for decades to develop alternative sources of energy to replace fossil fuels. Solar power, wind energy, and nuclear power are well-known and established options, but one alternative stands above the rest as potentially the most abundant and sustainable: bioenergy. Bioenergy is produced using biomass,

Can CRP Save Your Pollinators?

Can the Conservation Reserve Program Save Your Pollinators?

It’s no secret that pollinator species across the US are endangered, but the massive and potentially catastrophic consequences of pollinator extinction may not be as well known. Honey bees, native bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, and other insects pollinate over three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and 35% of the world’s food, making these creatures critical

What is CRP Doing for Your Soil

What is CRP Doing for Your Soil?

Aside from improving water quality and enhancing wildlife habitats, one of the primary goals of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is to reduce soil erosion. Erosion of soil is a major environmental concern, as it deteriorates the quality of both the soil and water on your land. Eventually, this can lead to land that can
