What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Peter Wild Peter Wild, Biochar and Billions of Tree Deaths: When whole species of trees are destroyed by climate change-induced increases of pests and disease, they can be turned into biochar to avoid the release of huge amounts of additional CO2. Peter Wild consults to municipalities facing loss of their street trees - like Minneapolis with millions of ash trees. Biochar production is a way to avoid the emissions problem as well as benefit soil biology, help support local food production, and gradually supplant use of chemical fertilizers. Peter invented the Arborjet infusion tool for treating diseased trees. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts Stockbridge School of Agriculture, Peter is a certified Arborist and owns an organic-based, proactive tree care business outside Boston.
