Biochar is a carbon rich compound created through the incomplete combustion of biomass. Many scientists believe that it may play an important role in mitigating climate shange, alleviating food insecurity and increasing renewable energy alternatives.

Could an ancient technology developed by Ameri-Indians help solve some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity, or will its costs outweigh its benefits?
