Rural NM Landscape Recovery Initiative

Biochar-catalyzed revenue that unlocks long-term landscape and food system recovery.

Now enrolling landowners + partners in Northern New Mexico

Use biochar to catalyze revenue—then scale the systems that manage landscapes

This initiative uses biochar as the catalyst to create early revenue opportunities and local jobs—building capacity fast. That foundation supports longer-term land and food systems (like grazing, grains, and agroforestry) that uplift rural food systems and maintain landscapes for better watershed outcomes and fire-adapted conditions.
