CCC S1E15 with Huhana Smith (Waikōkopu Grove & Orchard)
Description
Excited to release this chat with Huhana so you too can enjoy her passion for biochar and growing good food. Huhana is an artist, university professor, farmer, kaitiaki, biochar enthusiast, and more...
We explore a recent stream rehabilitation project made into an art project that has probably exposed thousands of people to biochar with an exhibition in Wellington.
We go into some detail on making biochar paint and how it was applied to the hemp and wool roll with a design inspired by pukeko footprints... Supporting blog post: https://passionatepermies.wordpress.com/2025/09/24/podcast-with-huhana-smith
