Agronomic regions

Geographic areas defined by similar agricultural conditions, such as climate, soil types, and typical crops grown.

Feedstocks

Raw materials, typically organic matter like plant waste or wood, used to produce biochar or other products.

Thermochemical conversion

A process that uses heat and chemical reactions to transform biomass into other forms, such as biochar or biofuels.

Biorefineries

Facilities that convert biomass into a range of valuable products, including fuels, chemicals, and materials like biochar.

Extension agents

Professionals, often affiliated with universities, who provide research-based information and education to farmers, families, and communities on various agricultural and home-related topics.
