What biochar does
Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material made by heating organic matter in a low-oxygen environment. When prepared and applied responsibly, it can help soil retain moisture and nutrients while keeping carbon stored for longer.
A careful approach
- Use clean, untreated organic material only.
- Learn local guidance before producing or applying biochar.
- Charge biochar with compost or nutrients before adding it to soil.
- Measure results and share what works with local growers.
