Why farmers are turning to bio-char

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 22 October 2024

A Southland couple is looking to the past to help curb farm emissions and boost yields. Andrew and Toula Finlayson operate Southland Carbon, which produces biochar.

Not only is the product benefiting the environment, it's also helping to revitalise the small town of Pukerau, near Gore.
