    What specific agricultural outcomes or soil improvements should the biochar research network prioritize measuring across its 20 sites?

  2. 02

    How should the bill allocate resources between studying biochar in different regions, given that soil types and climates vary widely across the United States?

  3. 03

    What evidence currently supports biochar's potential benefits, and what gaps in knowledge would this research network need to fill before farmers consider adopting it?
