During a zonal dialogue meeting in Bolgatanga, Madam Miyella shared her organization’s experience with grass biochar and their plans to commercialize its production.
“Our main focus is on the environment, and when this technology was introduced, I was thrilled,” she said. “Through the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) project, we have acquired a lot, and Chief has given us land where we have demonstrated the grass biochar. The women I work with cannot afford certain inputs for their farms, so when this technology was introduced, we embraced it.”
Madam Miyella explained that her organization has demonstrated grass biochar in their farms, backyard gardens, and Portray farms, encouraging their women to use it. “We know that when there’s enough biochar on the soil, it helps with water retention, which is crucial in the Upper East region where we have drought issues,” she added.
She highlighted the benefits of grass biochar, including its ability to take away the scent in Portray farms and its use as fertilizer. “We are planning to commercialize it next year, and we pray that if you want to buy, you can visit Maba, and they will start measuring it in both for people to buy,” she said.
Madam Miyella further emphasized that her organization has received the technology wholeheartedly and is committed to promoting it. “It is a very good technology, and we are going to do it because it is something that will help our women,” she concluded.
