COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new review of research suggests that the nature-based technology biochar – a carbon-rich material – could be an important tool to use in agriculture to help mitigate climate change.

A Brazilian researcher is working with Mexican farmers to test soils using biochar: a carbon-rich material showing promise in increasing water retention and fertility. Biochar is a porous, solid ...

Farmers in the US can expect to see an increase in crop yield of between 4.7 and 6.4%, on average, if they apply biochar to their fields. A charcoal made from plant remains, biochar may recondition ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal (mostly carbon) produced by heating organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis. This avoids the production of carbon dioxide and locks up the ...

With climate change at an all-time high in our world, innovative practices are being sought worldwide in the quest for a sustainable future. While studying abroad in Europe this summer, I was ...
