Our ARR project Forestal Río Aquidabán in Paraguay (https://lnkd.in/egDY4Tc3) combines forestry with extensive cattle grazing in a silvopastoral agroforestry system. Besides the active reforestation by planting of trees, some areas are excluded from grazing, allowing assisted natural regeneration based on the remaining seed bank, supporting nature in doing the work itself. This process is called […]

Stands look strong, and natural regeneration of native species is picking […]

What happens in two years when planting a hedgerow? Stronger plants and stronger partnerships! When we first visited one of our pilot hedgerows in July 2023, the young shrubs were barely visible in the surrounding crops. Two years later, we returned to the site together with Thorsten Permien from the Kompetenzzentrum Ökowertpapiere to exchange ideas […]

As part of a feasibility study, we’re currently exploring different pyrolysis plants across Europe and beyond. We started where we’re based: Freiburg. 👣 First stop: the municipal pyrolysis plant operated by ASF (Abfallwirtschaft und Stadtreinigung Freiburg). Their PYREG unit transforms 1,000 tons of biogenic municipal waste into about 333 tons of high-grade biochar every year. […]
