Transforming Peat Farming: A Major Project to Boost Habitats and Ecosystems
Peatlands - those rich, dark and often overlooked soils - are stepping into the spotlight thanks to a groundbreaking project led by Harper Adams University (HAU). This initiative aims to strike a delicate balance between sustainable farming and environmental conservation, all while maintaining the UK's crucial food production.

In collaboration with Climate Spheres, we have had the privilege of participating in an innovative project that tests the on-site production and use of biochar as a soil enhancer and fertiliser. Biochar is widely recognised for its ability to increase soil carbon levels, enhance soil structure, and boost nutrient retention and plant growth.
This initiative has enabled us to test the concept of making biochar on-farm using dead wood, and spreading it on an arable crop.
