[Note] "Satoyama Fresh Fruit Cooperative" is a new initiative started in 2014 by the Satoyama School of the Guanshu Educational Foundation, hoping to lead local fruit farmers in exploring environmentally friendly farming methods. From 2015 onward, they further invited several dedicated local farming friends to begin with grass cultivation and reducing the number of pesticide applications. Starting in 2016, the Satoyama School began to keep detailed records of the learning, conflicts and struggles these farming friends faced between their farming philosophy and the shift in techniques, hoping the public will see these farming friends' efforts and give them support.

On this day, Public Television's Our Island program even came specially to film, and several farming friends were eager to try. That afternoon, new farmer Da Guanjiu went home and immediately dug a small pit, burned some charcoal, and at once soaked it in enzyme solution. However, some farming friends, probably because they had not actually done it themselves, felt it should be good but worried whether the process might be very complicated. Oh my, it really is very simple. It looks like I will have to arrange some activities, such as a "biochar barbecue party" or the like, inviting farmers to join, and while at it get the biochar made well, so everyone will truly know that using biochar really is not that difficult!
