Teddy, 

 

Good links. Thanks. We have been in contact with Mary. We have certainly seen some creating solutions from Kenyans, not to mention the seed balls!

Hi Tom, here are a few I've read about in Kenya:

Do you know of Dr. Mary Njenga as well? She has done quite a bit of work on this as well. 

 

Best, 

 

Teddy

Where in Africa are examples of household energy, biochar and conservation agriculture? A few years ago a very successful project in Zambia demonstrated the use of gasifying stoves used to make biochar, which was incorporated in locally formulated organic fertilizers at the household level. A similar project is just starting in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi. Where else in Africa can we find examples of biochar made by households and producer groups and used in conservation agriculture?

 

Thanks
