🌱 Climate change is already a daily reality for smallholders 🌍 At Bio-logical, we understand that climate change isn't just a distant threat—it's a daily challenge for smallholders around the world. Farmers who rely on the land for their livelihoods are facing unpredictable weather patterns, shifting seasons, degraded/dead soils, expensive fertilisers and increasing risks to their crops/livelihoods. Thats why we’re committed to growing resilience and securing futures. #ClimateChange #SustainableAgriculture #SmallholderFarms #Resilience #BioLogical

Bio-Logical Co-Founder Rory Buckworth will be speaking alongside awesome speakers from Taking Root and Dalberg next week, discussing how CDR can build the resilience of communities who are suffering under the impacts of climate change. Attendees can expect to learn more about: ➡ Potential dual role of carbon credits, particularly outside Europe and North America ➡ Looking beyond carbon tunnel vision ➡ How CDR can aid in climate transformations 👩💻 Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dqSxa2c5

In Kenya, 61% of land is degraded, threatening the livelihood of the countries 7 million smallholder farmers (and the tens of millions of people who rely on them for food every day). At Bio-Logical, we believe biochar holds the key to turning the tide on these challenges, regenerating degraded soil and sequestering carbon. But how exactly does biochar improve soil and benefit Kenyan Farmers? I've done my best to summarise a few key benefits in this article!

🕺 We're super excited to announce our most recent funding round of $1.3m 🕺 These funds will enable us to scale up our Mt.Kenya site, sequestering more carbon! But more importantly, it will help us build the climate resilience of more Kenyan smallholder farmers who are struggling due to the impacts of climate change. Congratulations to the entire Bio-Logical team! https://lnkd.in/eWSBrmDk

Nice work Louis Merlin Mbomen Mbomen and the rest of the production team!!

How does our biochar based bio-fertiliser increase yields and improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Kenya? 1. Improved drought resistance: Biochar has been proven to increase soils ability to retain water. This is essential in countries like Kenya where the rains are becoming less frequent and more unpredictable due to climate change. 2. It fixes Acidic Soils: Acidic soils are a huge problem in Kenya as they reduce the availability of Phosphorous and other crucial nutrients. 3. It saves them money: By replacing current practices with Asili, farmers are able to save significant amounts of money per acre which can be spent on things like better nutrition for the family and education. 4. Reduction in nutrient leeching: Biochar's ability to hold nutrient's in the soil for longer means that means that plants receive the nutrients they need and reduces the need for chemical fertilisers.

👊 Great to see Philip Hunter up on stage highlighting the climate mitigation & adaptation solutions we're championing at Bio-Logical!

Biochar production is underway at Bio-Logical HQ!
