Dr. Rebecca J. Cole and Dr. Rakan “Zak” Zahawi are renowned Restoration Ecologists who implemented an experiment similar to the famous Orange Peel Forrest in Costa Rica in the 1990’s, this time using Coffee Pulp ag waste. The results are astounding, and further evidence that this strategy works with multiple inputs, at low cost, and at scale. Rebecca on Instagram: @rebecca.j.cole Rakan on X: @Darw...

Back in 2017, Tim and Jon wrote a paper about a unique and audacious experiment in Costa Rica. Truckloads of Orange peels were dumped onto degraded pasture in the late 1990's, and left to decompose. The result is renewed forest with increased biodiversity, which begs the question: where else in the world can agricultural waste streams help restore degraded soil?  Original Paper 2017: https://...
