Unsere Technologie zur Herstellung von TERRA PRETA

Wir haben die von uns vertriebenen Produkte auf Basis wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse Ende der 90ger Jahre entwickelt und seitdem beständig weiterentwickelt. Wir nennen unsere Technologie TERRA PRETA. Es mag jedoch auch andere Personen und Unternehmen geben, die eine Technologie und Verfahren zur Herstellung von Terra Preta entwickelt haben. Literatur, auf der wir unsere Entwicklung aufgebaut haben finden Sie unter den folgenden Quellen, die bis weit in die frühen 90ger Jahr zurückgehen.
