As rice shapes East Africaโ€™s food systems, initiatives like #R4iCSA offer a sustainable pathwayโ€”feeding communities without harming the environment. Burning rice waste harms environment, but solutions exist: husks can become biochar, straw turns into compost or livestock feed.

Biochar....one of the best known Carbon Sinks in the world with the ability to sequester (store away) carbon for over a century, if not centuries!

Biochar is the solution to acidic soils. That's in addition to boosting the soils' microbial life, retaining nutrients and moisture among other benefits....... It's simply a SOIL CONDITIONER. Victor Kiprop DonataKiiza
