The farmers can easily create pits / trenches and convert the biomass residue (apart from using for compost, mulch, etc) otherwise wasted by burning in the fields openly. The tribals at Yerragondapalem (supported by NABARD / Sri Sai Educational Society), in Andhra Pradesh were trained in this method (GSBC Project), they are able to produce the biochar, preparing biochar compost and applying to their fields.<br /><br />GSBC Project is supported by GoodPlanet.org http://goodplanet.org , France and being implemented by GEO, Hyderabad, http://e-geo.org<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1136697371968539518-357669697394331617?l=geo-biocharkiln.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GOOD STOVES AND BIOCHAR COMMUNITIES PROJECThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06146286617195725227noreply@blogger.com0
