Clifford Amoah Adagama, of Kessena Nankana Cooperative Baobab Processors Union (KANBACU), has emphasized the potential of grass biochar to transform agriculture in the region. Apexnewsgh reports
Speaking at a dialogue meeting organized by the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies (MITDS) in Bolgatanga, Mr. Adagama highlighted the benefits of mainstreaming biochar into agricultural production.
Mr. Adagama noted that introducing biochar to dry season farming can help reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers, promote soil rejuvenation, and increase fertility levels. This innovation has the potential to support women farmers who struggle to access capital for chemical fertilizers. KANBACU has already received training on biochar production and has started initial pilots.
Mr. Adagama stressed the need for government support to scale up this innovation, advocating for a seed fund to be established for environmental conservation and protection initiatives. This fund would enable innovators to access resources to develop and scale their technologies, reducing the environmental impact of bushfires in the region.
According to him, the adoption of grass biochar in agriculture has the potential to reduce pressure on farmers, promote conservation, and increase household income.
Mr. Adagama’s call to action emphasizes the importance of government investment in this innovation to reduce the environmental impacts of bushfires and promote sustainable agriculture practices.
