Storsteigen VGS

Carbon Storage

The Storsteigen Upper Secondary School in the Alvdal municipality in Norway educates its students in naturebased farming with a focus on versatile mountain agriculture. The school has around 100 students and its own farm with both plants and livestock.

Storsteigen Upper Secondary School has a long tradition of educating youth and adults in natural resource management, with a particular focus on mountain agriculture, equine studies, and animal sciences. The school engages in milk and meat production with cattle, goats, and sheep. It actively operates a mountain farm at Mæløya sæter (940 meters above sea level), located in Norway's longest mountain pasture valley, Einunndalen, in Folldal municipality. The school continuously emphasizes animal welfare, sustainability, climate, and environmental issues.

Storsteigen is now able to use and enjoy biochar in their soil thanks to Ecohz, who have removed carbon as a climate measure.
Not only is the biochar stored in the schools' soil, but it will also give the next generation of farmers the opportunity to learn directly about the effects of biochar and carbon in the soil.
