[Terrapreta] Julie Major Presents Biochar Workshop in Honduras

[Tom Miles]

According to the International Biochar Initiative website Julie Major, of
Cornell University, will be presenting a workshop to the Central American
staff of Sustainable Harvest International in Honduras. I'd like to be
there. Julie's work, posters and presentations have been very helpful in
understanding the mechanisms and potential of biochar.

Member Julie Major from Cornell University will lead a workshop where field
extension agents working across Central America, as well as local small
