Biochar widely known as black carbon, promotes plant growth and soil fertility and limits the necessity for fertilizer and decreases soil loss through erosion. Biochar is a carbon-rich solid material produced by heating from a wide range of organic feedstocks in the absence or limited oxygen supply (pyrolysis). Biochar serves as a sink for atmospheric CO2 in soil and retains water and nutrients in surface soil due to its highly porous nature. Biochar not only offers a lot of environmental solutions, it can also improve soil quality and crop productivity. By converting agricultural waste into a powerful soil enhancer that holds carbon and makes soils more fertile, we can boost food security, discourage deforestation and reduce fertilizer requirements.
