Reducing the environmental impact of farming using biochar

A method for reducing an overall environmental impact of farming or ranching, the method comprising:

• obtaining treated biochar, wherein the treated biochar is produced from a treatment process on biochar to detoxify the biochar and infuse an additive into pores of the biochar;
• and
• combining the treated biochar with animal bedding for farm animals, thereby (i) causing the farm animals to ingest the treated biochar, thereby producing ingested treated biochar, and thereby reducing methane from enteric fermentation and (ii) reducing a toxicity to the farm animals.

A method for using treated biochar to reduce an overall environmental impact of farming or ranching, the method comprising:

• obtaining treated biochar, wherein the treated biochar is produced from a treatment process, wherein the treatment process infuses a liquid additive into pores of biochar and removes dioxins from the pores of the biochar, and
• combining the treated biochar with compost, animal bedding, or manure piles, thereby reducing odor and increasing nutrient retention.
