Biochar as a Circular Solution for Sustainable Agriculture and Poverty Reduction (ADB CE Webinar Series, Session 01)
07 June 2022
Asia is home to an estimated 350 million smallholder farmers, who produce around 80% of the food consumed in the region. The impacts of climate change on soil quality and productivity, exacerbated by a growing fertilizer shortage, threaten the region's food security and smallholder farmers' livelihoods.
Heloise Buckland, CEO and Co-Founder of HUSK, took a closer look at the challenges presented to Asia’s smallholder farmers and presented a circular economy solution that promotes soil regeneration and climate resilience through the benefits of biochar products derived from rice husks.
