And EcoFuture @unituebingen.bsky.social is on board - how great 😀. Sequestering CO2 in biochar has potential positive feedbacks on futher C binding in soils. This technique remains a win-win: for our climate and for farmers and sustainable food production. Thanks for selecting us amongst the 99 💪.

Unsere 9 Unis präsentieren 99 Projekte für eine postfossile Zukunft. Ministerin #Olschowski: dieser Initiative beweisen unsere Universitäten eindrucksvoll ihre Innovationskraft und ihre gesellschaftliche Relevanz.! #klimaschutz #forschung #wissenschaft mwk.baden-wuerttemberg.de/de/service/p...

♻️ At #Kastanienhof, tree prunings are transformed into biochar. The heat from pyrolysis is reused for biomass drying and greenhouse heating, while the biochar becomes part of our biostimulating fertilizer #EcoFuture and returns to the field to improve soil health and store carbon.

🌱 At the #Phytotechnikum research greenhouse at the @unihohenheim.bsky.social, we’re testing new multicomponent #fertilizers in pot experiments with tomatoes and lettuce. The aim: identify the most promising formulations for future field trials and practical use in organic crop production 🌾.

🌻 Building better solutions for organic farming starts in the lab 🧪 We’re developing and testing EcoFuture UT #KAP4, a multi-component biostimulant fertilizer for #OrganicFarming, to find the combinations that work best before scaling up to real farm conditions 🌾

A lovely little detail at the #TERRA kick-off: tabletop rock gardens for meditative, zen-inspired coffee breaks 🪨🌱 Thanks a lot for the great opening event @terra-cluster.org

TERRA - Geo-Biosphere Interactions@terra-cluster.org · 3mo ago

Our #TERRA 🌎 Kick-Off is today and we're so giddy. The past couple of days and weeks have been a bit stressful but now we're finally there! We'll keep you posted! It's going to be #Excellent 💚

What fun to attend: The #TERRA FutureLab distributed its first biochar product from the #Kastanienhof. Bags were faster gone than the Visitors registered @unituebingen.bsky.social: what a success. This clearly shows that interest & demand for nature based solutions is out there: let's get started 💪

TERRA - Geo-Biosphere Interactions@terra-cluster.org · 3mo ago

Day two of our amazing #TERRA 🌎 Kick-Off, meeting old and new friends and colleagues for a second day in a row.

Indeed, we are full of motivation: we look much forward to the collaboration with the #TERRA FutureLab - exploiting the perspectives of #biochar application beyond organic #agriculture. Thanks @mwk-bw.bsky.social for that great opportunity & @unituebingen.bsky.social for the living lab #Kastanienhof

TERRA - Geo-Biosphere Interactions@terra-cluster.org · 4mo ago

🌱 Exciting news – @eco-future.bsky.social launched yesterday, April 1! Our #TERRA Future Lab is part of an effort to develope EcoFuture KAP4, a sustainable biochar-based fertilizer that closes local nutrient cycles for organic farming – funded by the @mwk-bw.bsky.social MWK Baden-Württemberg.🚜

Ha - this is pretty similar to EcoFuture's motivation: fruit production in 🇩🇪 produces pruning material and old, long grass - both ideal substrates for long-term #carbon sequestration ( #CDR ). Amended with a nutrient source, we follow the same approach returning pyrolyzed organic matter to soils 😀.
