We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Dorisel Icraf Presentation

The document discusses biochar and bioenergy production systems in small farms in Western Kenya. Pyrolysis of biomass residues from cooking can provide syngas fuel and biochar soil amendment, improving livelihoods. Unsustainable use of biomass causes issues like deforestation, land degradation, and health problems. Farm productivity is limited by constant cultivation without nutrient replenishment and soil erosion. The objective is to develop sustainable biochar systems for soil improvement and climate change mitigation while providing energy and waste management.
