Christa,

I'll send you the contact information. I think they could benefit from your
knowledge and experience. 

 

Thanks

Tom, which project do you refer to? do you have details on who is doing (or
planning to do) what where and when? 



A similar project is just starting in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi. 

am off to Malawi later this week and will check up on the use of TLUD-drums
to utilise peeled maize cobs as cooking fuel for staff on some large estates
and the biochar as ingredient for potting soil in their own nurseries.
Thanks

Christa

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
