L’agricoltura sostenibile può trovare un alleato nella produzione del Biochar, un ammendante che si produce con gli scarti agricoli lavorati in pirogassificazione. È quanto sta studiando un team di ricerca pubblico/privato coordinato dall’Azienda Agraria Sperimentale Stuard di Parma, sotto la guida scientifica del professor Nelson Marmiroli dell’Università di Parma. ... Attraverso un innovativo impianto sperimentale di pirogassificazione è possibile riutilizzare residui agricoli per produrre un ammendante, il Biochar, con elevata stabilità. Questo processo costituisce un’interessante tecnologia non combustiva di conversione di biomasse e risulta carbon negative, in quanto il carbonio sequestrato è maggiore di quanto ne viene immesso in atmosfera durante la pirolisi.
Bonelli's eagle is one of the species that best embodies the most genuine and untamed spirit of the Mediterranean nature. But it dies. Their populations have been drastically reduced in recent decades, as human progress grows. This short documentary shows the work of the Spanish NGO GREFA to prevent it from disappearing and recovering former territories where they lived.

Is the scandalous corruption of our political campaigns also undermining our response to the environmental crisis?
The latest large-scale assessment of the systems and supply chains that get us dressed reveals that the fashion industry’s sustainability efforts have “slowed by a third in the past year” and overall are “not moving fast enough to counterbalance the harmful impact of the fashion industry’s rapid growth.” Despite a sense of sustainable fashion as a growing movement, it appears that the pulse of actual progress, is weakening. If you’re not at the helm of a fashion company, it can be difficult to discern exactly how our individual actions are part of achieving progress and ameliorating the impacts of our second skin. In the Fibershed Clothing Guide, we share how the impact a garment is defined by three key elements: For suggested practices and inspiring perspectives on choosing clothing, caring for it, and keeping it in functional use, we looked to leading designers, researchers, artists, and strategists who have shared their wisdom and work with the Fibershed community. These notes from our community can help us hone our skills and shift our patterns of consumption and care.
