Sustainable solutions to the plethora of environmental issues facing us today require sound science as well as actionable technology that is affordable and equitable.Broader awareness of biochar systems emerged from insights of historical soil management of Amerindian populations who modified their soils to remain fertile for centuries,pointing at sustainable improvement of soil functions through biochar additions.This insight alone may remain inconsequential for sustainable development without probing the translation into modern-day realities.To negotiate viable technologies and management that work today and in the future,science has to engage in constant conversation with stakeholders.Here I argue for the importance of local,regional,national and global networks to serve as platforms to foster the translation of science to action,especially,but not limited to,biochar research,development and deployment.
