The zero emission farm is our vision! That is why we have established Landbrukets climate and energy center as an arena for research and development in agriculture. From 1 January 2023, the center has been expanded to apply to both natural farming schools, Mære landbruksskole and Skjetlein upper secondary...

In the greenhouse at Mære agricultural school, very special radishes and spinach are harvested. The reason why the radishes and spinach are special is because the soil in which they have grown has been supplemented with different types and amounts of biochar. Here we have made biochar from seaweed,...

We are constantly working to reduce greenhouse gases here at the Zero Emission Farm on Mære. One of the experiments carried out in this field concerns biochar and animal manure. We asked ourselves: Can we make a cover of biochar in the livestock manure warehouse and thus reduce...

Biochar is charcoal that is produced by heating biomass such as wood chips and straw at high heat and limited access to oxygen. The process is called pyrolysis. By adding biochar to the soil, the soil's properties are improved in many areas. Biocoal has the following...
