Atlan LLC
ABOUT THE TEAM: Back to Life Biochar & Soil Regeneration has emerged from Atlan Community. Established in 2010, Atlan is a living and learning ecovillage that takes a permaculture and regenerative approach to creating a settlement that imitates natural ecosystems; using waste from one element as input for another element and providing food, energy, shelter, and other needs in a sustainable and holistic way. Atlan stewards 151 acres situated near the border of Oregon, approximately 70 miles east of Portland, offering space for community events and training opportunities. Atlan also produces finished compost, activated biochar amendment, compost tea, and soil regeneration amendments – alternatives to fertilizer – from the composting of waste food, animal manure, and biochar (carbon and ash residue remaining after controlled burning of downed trees, vegetation, etc.).
ABOUT THE PROJECT: Back to Life Biochar & Soil Regeneration Services is seeking to scale its biochar soil amendment and compost business by developing branding and marketing, as well as making connections across multiple communities and organizations to upgrade equipment, capture more food waste, and replicate this process for other forest land holders. This project will help divert more food waste and organic material from landfills, in addition to reducing CO2 emissions and rebuilding the soil food web with high quality soil.
