Research points:
- Practical application of the Terra Preta concept in cooperation with professional composting facilities
- decentral waste processing and intelligent material flow managment
- production of humus substrates with similar properties of Terra Preta
- Comparison of different organic feedstock and biochar mixtures in various proportions and concentrations
- testing carbon stability (carbon sequestration potential)
- physicochemical characterization of end products (soil improvement benefits)
