Abstract
In an age shaped by climate change, which is disrupting natural ecosystems’ balances and impacting both human and animal health, society must actively attenuate these changes. From this perspective, innovative and sustainable resources are needed to mitigate water scarcity, ensure food security, and reduce air pollution. Biochar could play a key role in this effort due to its ability to provide benefits for agriculture by reducing water demand, increasing yields, reducing fertilize use and promoting resistance to stress and diseases. It also offers environmental benefits by capturing and storing carbon in the soil for extremely long periods, valorizing bio-waste that is currently lost, and generating economic value through the generation of carbon offsets.
Biochar production and its incorporation into soil address twin challenges: supporting farmers and sustaining the environment by transforming waste into a value-added product
