Example of a 5ivePlanets approved technology at work:

We promote the production and usage of Bio-Char not simply because it is a more ecological alternative to conventional wisdom. We do so because the technology is aligned with Earth’s natural processes and is beneficial to us as humans. In short, it meets the goal of helping create a global economy that the world is capable of supporting indefinitely. Consider Bio-Char as we apply it to agriculture:

When we add Bio-Char to soil, it triggers a host of new dynamic processes that in turn are “planet healing” and sustaining. I.e. Bio-Char triggers additional soil building processes, it cleans air/water/soil, it improves crop yields, it reduces CO2, and it stimulates the creation of even more soil organic matter. And we can contrive financial instruments that in turn are financially cycle restorative that drives investment into these technologies while providing needed capital to restore our badly depleted soil equity and keep our planet’s people healthy and fed.
