Description

In this episode of Seen & Herd, Paul Sousa sits down with Steve Rowe, Chairman of Biofiltro, and Sanjar Taremi, Livestock Lead, to dive into a solution that’s gaining traction among California dairies: vermifiltration. This natural, low-tech system uses wood chips and worms to significantly reduce nitrogen loads and methane emissions from dairy wastewater, at little to no cost for producers. With changing water regulations, looming methane mandates, and new funding opportunities, this conversation offers real, actionable insights for dairies looking to build a future-proof manure management toolbox. Plus, learn how these systems can expand irrigation options, improve nutrient management flexibility, and even coexist with digesters.
