Biochar: A Long-Term Win for Farmers and the Climate

Biochar: A Long-Term Win for Farmers and the Climate 
When applied consistently over several years, biochar proves to be more than just a soil amendment — it becomes a game changer:
Higher Yields: Long-term field trials show average crop yields increase by 10% or more.
Emission Reduction: Methane emissions cut by 13%, nitrous oxide by 21%, helping farmers lower their carbon footprint.
Soil Carbon Boost: Soil organic carbon levels rise by 50%+, creating healthier, more resilient farmland.
If just 70% of crop residues were returned to fields as biochar, the world could gain an extra 190 million tons of food annually, while cutting emissions equivalent to 4.6% of global fossil fuel use.
This is the true “win-win” of agriculture: feeding people while healing the planet.
