Does the rise or fall of the biochar industry depend on comprehensive international agreements on climate change?
Biochar offers direct, present day benefits to farmers of all sizes in the form of greater crop productivity, and efforts are underway to promote widespread testing of biochar in many different types of soils. Financial instruments that would lead to direct benefits for farmers in the form of carbon trading, for example, would certainly provide more incentives for biochar technology adoption. This has been and is being promoted by IBI at a number of UN events through the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
