Black Treasure: Unlocking the Key Potential Effects of Biochar as Organic Input for Restoring Healthy Soil and Carbon Credit for Next-Gen Agriculture in Soil

With a human population of eight billion which is destined to exceed 11.4 Billion by 2100, soil degradation is a global issue which is a risk multiplier in aggravating food and nutritional insecurity. Soil is the foundation for all crop production and to scavenge food security in future. Normally, soil health is consider as a basic functionality test or indicator which has a direct contact with the environmental ecosystem. Soil carbon is a key player which augment the soil health that includes physical, chemical and biological properties. It's also a critical component of climate change offsets. Suitable measures should be adopted to trade the carbon upon soil and for soil sustainability. Incorporation of carbonaceous material like Biochar will definitely improves the status of fertility in soil and can mitigate adverse climate situation to agriculture system. Generally, the bichar are thermally stabilized one and becomes a final product called “char” which exist as an organic material for current system of practices and its fine nature is definitely helpful for both physical and chemical properties of the soil and sure it helps to maintain carbon stock in soil and sustainability of soil. Here, addition of biochar enhances soil organic carbon, availability of other nutrient and its mobilization pattern. Hence it acts as an organic source for improving carbon status to the soil and keeping soil healthier.
