Farm scale biochar production, biochar nutrient enhancement and application methods in Nepal

In 2014/15 we had the opportunity to work on an Asia Development Bank project and to introduce biochar into Nepali agriculture. Working in 15 villages and setting-up more than 140 field trials with various different stable and cash crops, we gained valuable experiences on how to increase yields substantially using low amounts of nutrient enhanced biochar.

 

The following video conference was given by Hans-Peter Schmidt, Ithaka Institute, at the Joint International Biochar Symposium 2015, Germany
