Description
As he nears the end of the year, Tom starts thinking about what lies beyond his biochar pilot. He reflects on everything he’s learned, talks to some others who’ve walked this path before, and dares to imagine a life less smoky. But is he finally ready to start answering some of the big questions he grappled with in his first days? And has his time in the country changed him – for better or worse - forever?
