Agroforestry & Biochar Carbon Credits

Transforming Degraded Land into Thriving Farms

Across rural communities, soil degradation and deforestation are threatening food security, livelihoods, and biodiversity. Our agroforestry and biochar initiative is changing this by restoring soil health, increasing crop yields, and capturing carbon for a more sustainable future.

How It Works

Our initiative combines agroforestry with biochar to regenerate the land and improve farmers’ incomes. A proven approach that integrates diverse, climate-resilient crops with trees that restore soil fertility and protect against erosion. Biochar, a natural soil amendment made from crop waste, enhances soil health by improving water retention, boosting nutrients, and locking carbon in the ground for centuries.

We work alongside farmers, offering training, tools, and technical support through Field Mentors and Regional Training Hubs. These hubs serve as centres for peer learning and innovation, equipping farmers with the knowledge to produce and apply biochar effectively, integrate agroforestry techniques, and build long-term resilience against climate shocks.

Why It Matters

• Increases food security – Healthier soils lead to better yields, improving nutrition and livelihoods for farming families.

• Reverses land degradation – Agroforestry rebuilds ecosystems, restores biodiversity, and reduces deforestation.

• Captures and stores carbon – Biochar locks away carbon while reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers.

• Empowers communities – Farmers become leaders in climate-smart agriculture, strengthening local economies.

• Creates new income streams – Through partnerships, farmers access carbon markets and sustainable farming networks, increasing their earning potential.
