The Shift Ep. 3 - Where Waste Becomes Resource

In this episode of The Shift webcast, we welcome soil scientist Dr. Deborah Aller of Cornell University. Debbie shares insights from on-farm trials and explains how biochar can enhance soil health, microbial activity, water retention, and long-term productivity when carefully matched to specific soils and feedstocks. Thor and Debbie discuss why biochar is not a “silver bullet,” but rather a versatile tool whose impact depends on thoughtful deployment, data-driven decision making, and realistic ROI for growers. The conversation also examines emerging challenges such as biosolids management and PFAS contamination, highlighting promising research into pyrolysis as a pathway to safer land application.
