Biochar - Investing in the Future

Biochar has been used for thousands of years. It can be traced back to the Amazon basin, which has some of the most carbon-rich soils on earth. Biochar has a great potential to help Namibia adapt to climate change. It can be used to improve soil quality as well as animal health. Although this product is relatively new to the Namibian market, it fills a unique niche because it is made from encroacher bush biomass, thereby providing a sustainable solution to bush encroachment. This video provides an overview of biochar production and application in Namibia.
The video was produced in collaboration with the Namibia Charcoal Association, Prime Biochar, Farm Krumhuk, and Onghalulu Farmers' Cooperative through the GIZ Farming for Resilience project and funded by the GIZ Bush Control and Biomass Utilisation project.

My grandparents who were the children of African slaves in America used this technique in there farming when I was a little boy seventy years ago. I am sure that they learned it from their parents and grandparents.

My family escaped genocide in Germany 1919 and are mistakingly discriminated against and racistly called colonist. It was the culture for all country families in America. You would take your wood stove ashes and put it on the garden. Pushed off as a magically new idea to buy after banning wood stoves.

The future is all we have left , the most important thing we hand down to our child is the land that can feed them for life.

[@aundreoldacre6979]

This is great but doesn't the wood burning create a lot of C02 emissions?

[@outofnamibia]

Not as much as it stores. Emissions depend on the pyrolysis technology and are factored in, i.e. deducted, when carbon credits are issued.
