Empowering Smallholder Farmers. Healing Our Planet.

Our impact

At Biochar Life, we're on a mission to tackle climate change, enhance public health, and alleviate rural poverty by working with smallholder farmers. We train communities in the creation of biochar and help them generate c-sink credits, putting more money back into their hands while making a global impact.

How we empower smallholder farmers in developing countries.

Our process

We mobilize a huge previously untapped human resource, the smallholder farmers of the developing world, to convert currently burned crop waste, a huge, previously ignored source of greenhouse gases, into carbon sequestering biochar. We work with smallholder farmer networks to obtain CSI certification and generate C-sink certificates that are available for purchase from us or our trading partners.

1
Biochar Farmer Training

Our trainers provide the knowledge and practical skills to farmers for the efficient production and utilization of biochar, promoting sustainable farming and soil health.

2
Improved Yields with Biochar

The famers mix biochar with their soil as a fertiliser, a process that results in a significant increase in crop productivity, optimizing soil fertility and plant health.

3
Monitoring and Verification

By providing verifiers with the latest mobile technology we can ensure the quality, consistency, and environmental integrity of biochar production and application.

4
C-sink Sales and Farmer Payments

Providing famers with access to carbon markets means they earn income from the sales of CO2 removal credits, creating a sustainable and profitable agricultural cycle.
