The Second Green Revolution Has Arrived
Editorial Feature | Oct 9, 2023
And it’s cleaning up the mess left by the first.
See how this forgotten Amazonian farming technique can create healthier forests, better fire recovery, greater crop yields, heavy metal remediations — the list goes on — all while cleaning and recharging the soil.
And learn how one tiny microcap — Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF) — turned its first-mover advantage into a dominant position within this completely new, rapidly growing agtech industry.
In Hawaii, the island of Maui was recently devastated by forest fires.1
Back in 2020, the Australian wildfires were declared “one of the worst wildlife disasters in modern history,” claiming over 12 million hectares of land.2,3
California had a quiet fire season in 2023 — only around 5,500 fires, consuming over 250,000 acres. That’s less than a quarter of the five-year average.4
Forest fires by themselves aren’t an existential danger. They are a part of the natural life cycle, and can contribute positively to the environment.
But fires larger than 40,000 hectares — are different. These more intense fires can decrease an ecosystem’s vitality up to 50%.5
That can be enough to tip a forest over the breaking point — turning it into prairie, or desert.
This is even more likely if the forest is already stressed — by warmer weather, by drier climate, by invasive species, or any of the other modern issues forests face.
That’s part of the reason why so many attempts to reseed forests end in failure. Very few seedlings grow or survive after a fire in this size range— let alone thrive.
But one tiny microcap — Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF) — believes they’ve found a way to use a long-forgotten ancient farming technique to change that.
This technique uses a substance originally discovered deep in the Amazon, where it formed naturally.
Called biochar, this substance acts like a sponge.
It’s essentially charcoal made out of biological material — not too dissimilar from the charcoal inside your water filter.
Just as that charcoal traps impurities as water passes through, biochar can trap anything added to it.
This makes it an ideal additive for plant growth.
Biochar can also be charged with water — holding it in place like a sponge.
This allows new growth a chance to take root in devastated landscapes, which otherwise often sees rainfall flooding downhill, carrying topsoil with it.
Biochar can be charged with nitrogen or other fertilizers — again, holding it in place, so it doesn’t wash into and pollute rivers and streams, but instead stays where it’s needed and can be easily bio-accessible for any growing plants.
Biochar itself is almost entirely made of carbon — making it one of the essential ingredients for plant life, and indeed, all life.
But perhaps best of all, biochar creates the ideal environment for the micro-organisms, mycelia, and fungi that are the backbone of healthy soil. It provides a home, and food, for these microbiomes in otherwise-sterile or heat-sterlized areas.
That underground microbiome is what makes for a healthy forest floor — and represents a way to kickstart a thriving base ecosystem, upon which the forest can rebuild.
This has been shown in the field, where the introduction of biochar increases the rate of seeds taking hold, increases the rate of growth in plants, and increases the long-term survivability of these regrown ecosystems.
Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF) wants to scale up these smaller examples and introduce biochar to the mass market.
Governments and local municipalities are actively asking for a solution.
And now Argo Living Soils can provide one.
But we’ve just scratched the surface of what biochar can do.
By the time this agtech is fully scaled up, companies like Argo Living Soils could capture a significant corner of the $4 trillion agricultural business.
Because biochar doesn’t just hold enormous promise in helping forests recover.
It also…
- Can recharge infertile land, and increase crop yields, as the best organic soil additive around. It often takes 3-5 years of treatments to see full effects, but the effects can be enormous — from vegetables coming in at twice the size, to barren landscapes bearing fruit once again.
- Can help clean pollution from the ground — just like the charcoal in your water filter can clean your water. It’s already in use around Canada’s lighthouses — which were leaching lead from old paint into the surrounding waters. No more — thanks to biochar.
- Stops fertilizer run-off — as all the fertilizer remains locked in place, available for the plants they were meant to help in the first place.
- Acts as carbon sequestration. Creating biochar — from trimmings and wood waste, in the case of Argo Living Soils — sequesters 50% of the carbon that would largely be released into the atmosphere otherwise.
- Cuts down on the carbon load of concrete. Mixing up to 10% biochar cuts down on the pollution involved in creating concrete, without affecting performance. Indeed, some studies have shown biochar may actually improve the performance of concrete, much as the volcanic ash of classical Rome made Roman concrete particularly strong.6
- Has over 50 known uses… with new ones being discovered every day.
Helping make forest more resilient to fire might be the most important use.
But some would argue, biochar’s agricultural applications hold that distinction.
A Solution for Our Looming Soil Crises
In order to keep up with rising populations, greater and greater demands are being made on the land.
And some of the land isn’t responding well.
Due to a combination of over-cultivation, overgrazing, destruction of forests, and other human activities, we are currently in the midst of a crisis of land degradation and desertification.
We turned the Fertile Crescent of ancient Iran and Iraq into a desert largely through over-cultivation. Now, we’re repeating our past mistakes, on a much larger scale.
Today, 30% of China’s land is desert.7 Despite expensive interventions, that figure continues to grow.
Like much of Africa, Kenya is seeing rapid soil depletion due to deforestation and over-cultivation.
Meanwhile, in Mali, the Saharan Desert has finished consuming almost every piece of arable land. The Saharan continues to expand.
Biochar can potentially help remediate these problems. It is even being studied as a way to make deserts into arable land once again.
The beauty of biochar is it can be charged with just about any healthy substance you want — from nutrient-rich manure, to existing colonies of micro-organisms that can seed the soil.
If you want to use it to regrow forests, it is perfect for that.
If you want to grow crops with award-winning yields, it can do that too.
Biochar allows you to put exactly what you want into the soil — without worrying about run-off, without concern about soil depletion.
Because you have given your soil a natural booster shot. One that builds over time, as the micro-organisms it encourages lead to the production of healthy topsoil, and a healthy soil ecosystem with nutrients readily available for growing plants.
For small gardens, 10% biochar is the ideal blend. At that ratio, farmers report vegetables double the previous size — with multiple award-winners at state fairs.
For larger plots, the biochar is usually mixed in 1-3% a year, over the course of a few years.
After 3-5 years, those large plots show similar improvements in yields.
That’s because biochar is like a power pellet for plant growth.
And it’s not just the nutrients that biochar carries, either.
One square inch of biochar has the same surface as a football field.
It is extremely sponge-like, with unending nooks and crannies.
That’s a lot of space to grow — it has been likened to condos for healthy micro-organisms.
It locks all nutrients in place — to be accessed by our crops, or anything else we’d like to grow.
It is completely organic — making possible high-yield organic farming that can compete with anything else out there.
It saves farmers money; since it locks fertilizer in place, much less is needed.
It creates the same savings with water.
Biochar itself is made of carbon — one of the essential ingredients for life.
A single application of biochar can help revive land, slowly.
But repeated applications over the course of years can completely transform the ecosystem.
Making once-infertile fields fertile again.
Giving already-fertile fields a yield boost.
And providing the much-needed innovation we need to keep up with a growing global population of ~10.5 billion by 2080.8
Not to mention, creating a recurring customer base for biochar producers and distributors.
Biochar may have the potential to solve many of humanity’s food and land management issues going forward…
But it has its roots deep in the Amazonian past.
Like Many Great Inventions, Biochar Was an Accidental Discovery
The Amazon rainforest is the largest, densest rainforest in the world.
Consequently, it’s home to a few quirky phenomena.
One of these phenomena was the creation of biochar.
How does that happen?
Biochar is simply any plant matter that roasts in an anaerobic environment — one without oxygen.
When in an oxygen environment, plant matter at high temperatures combusts — releasing all of its carbon into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, leaving behind only ash.
When plant matter is heated to combustible levels, but without the presence of oxygen, all of that carbon stays sequestered in the biochar left behind.
The Amazon, with its dense wet jungle, provided plenty of opportunities for plant matter to get roasted by forest fires, but sealed in anaerobic areas — usually due to the density of foliage laying above it on the forest floor.
The early Amazonian people noticed that, even in the lush Amazon, the areas around this biochar were particularly verdant, with abnormally large plants of unusual vitality.
The local people figured out how to make biochar themselves, and used it on their farms.
You can make biochar as well, if you like. All you need to do is start a fire out of plant material and keep it smoldering, while depriving it of oxygen.
The most common way to do that is burning wood in a barrel, adding more layers as soon as you get the first hints of white ash on the top layer. But not doing it so fast that you extinguish the fire.
This creates conditions where the lower layers burn through their oxygen pockets, and don’t get any more, as the fire above consumes it all.
This plant matter roasts, locking its carbon in place, taking on the complex topography of biochar.
Now ready to be charged with anything you like.
And Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF)is cornering this still-small corner of the agtech market by charging its biochar with the best stuff around.
The First Mover Advantage, in a Can’t Miss Industry
Biochar solves so many problems, the substance is sure to find many applications.
Beyond helping heal and protect our forests…
Beyond helping to heal and revive our farmland…
Beyond protecting other ecosystems from agricultural runoff…
Biochar has a number of other applications.
From acting as a cheap, strong cement additive that cuts down on energy costs and carbon emissions…
To helping lock and clean pollutants out of the soil.
That’s not to mention, the actual creation of biochar sequesters 50% of the carbon found in the wood waste and trimmings that would burn or rot otherwise.
Today, however, Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF) is focusing on the most immediate and most obvious applications.
Helping our soils recover, and helping our organic farming sector thrive.
As the best nutrient delivery system yet discovered… combined with the healthy micro-biome that Argo can deliver, pre-installed in biochar…
Argo’s organic biochar is ready to revolutionize the organic fertilizer industry.
Not as a replacement — but as an additive.
Argo can provide biochar combined with manure — that has the added bonus of having no scent, since all the nutrients are locked in the biochar.
It can provide biochar combined with nitrogen- or phosphate-rich nutrient profiles, or it can provide biochar that has already had micro-organism colonies cooking and ready to spread, creating healthy soil wherever they are laid.
It can provide biochar already charged with water to help quench thirsty plants in droughts… or it can come without that charge, to help capture rainfall and prevent flash floods.
Biochar has been around for millenia.
But the insight of how to use that biochar most effectively — as a solution for many of today’s problems?
That is a very recent development.
That requires the organic fertilizers we use today, combined with the ideal delivery system that is biochar.
Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF) is delivering exactly what the market needs.
But that’s just the start.
Argo is already developing its own biochar-manufacturing devices. Both for use in production facilities, and mobile devices that can go right to scenes of need, like recent forest fires.
Argo’s biochar can be custom-charged for different purposes — creating the most powerful organic additive we’ve yet seen.
Partially because this is the first organic additive of its kind we’ve ever seen. There is no competing product like biochar out there.
Even Dubai has shown interest in it, as a way to potentially reclaim the desert.
This is an exciting young agtech industry — one without many established players, or even an established market.
The overall market is still in the discovery phase, as scientific study of the benefits of biochar only recently revealed how powerful this substance can be.
As word spreads, Argo Living Soils believes demand will skyrocket.
To keep up with forest regeneration projects alone, thousands of industrial-size biochar generators would need to be built.
But even if the political will is never found to regrow our forests…
Our farmers will gladly make use of biochar to increase the vitality of their fields, and the yields of their crops.
That market alone would lead to explosive growth for the few early biochar companies like Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF).
If you understand the potential transformative power of biochar, and its multiple applications…
Most of which are cleaner, cheaper, and more sustainable than the alternative…
With the potential to cut down on greenhouse gases, cut down on fertilizer use, cut down on energy costs, cut down on run-off and pollution, all while helping ecosystems recover…
And while creating the sorts of crops that win state fairs…
Than you should speak with your financial advisor to see if an investment in Argo Living Soils (CSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSFCSE: ARGO, OTCQB: ARLSF) is right for you.
