Efforts have been made to find more labour efficient ways to produce a higher
volume and better quality compost. For this reason, in the future, probiotic or
efficient microbes will be introduced to the mix, to enhance the composting
process.

Biocharing

1
Biochar is an excellent soil enhancer
and carbon sequester.

It’s structure helps the soil keep its moisture and thereby its capacity to hold
nutrients. Another benefit of applying biochar to the soil is carbon storage. The
carbon in the biochar can stay stable for hundreds or thousand of years and
thereby contributes to a meaningful carbon sequestration.

1 ““Biochar” is simply a term used to describe black carbon that is produced intentionally for (1)
carbon management (i.e., trying to slow down climate change) or (2) agricultural or envi-
ronmental management applications (e.g., trying to improve crop yields).” Source: What is
