Several reporters from various countries, including Brazil and Egypt, visited Villa Carmen with goals of learning more about sustainable agriculture and biochar. It was great to have the opportunity to talk to reporters about the biochar project here at Villa Carmen. They took photos and video of our biochar projects, kiln, and the quenching process. They even interviewed Yhilbonio and I about our involvement. Check out the pictures below!
