Biochar: A Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Agricultural Solution
What is Biochar?
Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich product made through the pyrolysis of organic waste—crop residues or forestry by-products—at high heat in low oxygen, similar to charcoal. However, biochar is utilized for soil application, providing a double dividend: long-term carbon sequestration and improved soil health. It is a nature-based climate solution that can transform agricultural waste into a significant climate asset.
GKF Agroforestry’s Vision and Commitment
At GKF Agroforestry, we see the immense potential of biochar in solving climate, soil, and livelihood issues—particularly in tribal and rural areas. Our mission is to create sustainable agricultural systems that are in harmony with national objectives as well as international climate agendas.
We are dedicated to
Implementing biochar-based initiatives in low-carbon areas throughout India, especially where farm residues are not being utilized.
Educating farming communities on sustainable biomass management and decentralized pyrolysis techniques.
Creating biochar as a carbon offset product under internationally accredited methodologies contributing to India’s Paris Agreement climate targets.
Keeping rural livelihoods improved through increased access to climate finance and better soil fertility.
