Biochar-Dairy Manure Mixes with Dr. Touyee Thao | Field, Lab, Earth Podcast

Dr. Touyee Thao discusses how waste from orchards and dairy farming can help improve soil properties and crop farming.

Increasing food production needs can sometimes put a strain on the environment. Waste from crop and animal production can exacerbate this problem. But, when waste can be turned into a benefit, we can move closer to a world where both can thrive. In this episode of the Field, Lab, Earth podcast, Touyee joins me to discuss how turning waste products into beneficial materials like biochar and compost can help move the needle in the right direction.
