“We may have stumbled onto the next green revolution,” said lead author of recent study

“Managing crop pests without fully understanding the impacts of tactics—related to resistance and nontarget plants or insects—costs producers money,” researcher says

The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar system” that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in an environmental pinch, until other removal methods become economically feasible and in regions where other methods are impractical
