The Land Use Podcast Live: Soil health, biochar and the changing climate

Studies have revealed that our changing climate is altering soil and its complex systems. This, in turn, affects our ability to grow crops and provide food security for our growing populations. Fortunately, research into sustainable agricultural practices is paving a path towards a more sustainable future.

Join the Alberta Land Institute for the first-ever live episode of the Land Use podcast, where postdoctoral researcher Yuge Bai discusses how biochar may be able to improve soil health in Alberta under future climate conditions.
