Abena Offen-Gyimah of THE BEELA PROJECT has hailed Prof. David Millar’s BioChar innovation as a timely solution for farmers struggling with soil regeneration and fertility in the context of climate change. Apexnewsgh reports
Speaking after a regional workshop in Bolgatanga, she emphasized the importance of supporting farmers in adopting sustainable practices.
“BioChar is extremely important for soil regeneration and fertility, and it’s essential to support farmers in finding ways to regenerate soil health with minimal chemical inputs,” she said. “I think this initiative is excellent, and I’m excited to see its implementation across various communities in the Upper East.”
Abena stressed the need for demonstrations and awareness campaigns to educate farmers on the benefits of BioChar, particularly in utilizing grass that would otherwise be burned or buried. She believes that government adoption and policy support are crucial for long-term sustainability and encouraging farmers to adopt BioChar practices.
“To make it sustainable, government needs to adopt a policy on BioChar, support farmers who use it, and reward them for their efforts,” she said. “Incorporating local governance and traditional leaders in the implementation process will also be essential.”
The BioChar innovation has the potential to transform agriculture in Ghana, and with government support, it could become a game-changer for farmers struggling with climate change.
