CLIMATE-RESILIENT FUTURES
Circularity: Turning Crop Residue Into Soil Fertility.
Agri-Sankofa turns processing waste into biochar and returns it to the farms that grew the crop. Every step is recorded so the carbon benefit can be verified.

Biochar Sequestration (MRV)
Batch records are kept from feedstock to biochar, for carbon verification.

Carbon Credits (planned)
Biochar carbon credits are planned under Puro.earth. Credits will be issued only once registration and verification are complete.

The 'Farm-to-Shelf' Loop
We work with smallholder farmers who grow climate-resilient crops, including cassava, sorghum and millet. We close the loop by turning processing residue into biochar, which is returned to the same farmers to improve their soil for the next harvest.
-
1
Harvest & Collection
Residue from our milling and processing is collected at the hub.
-
2
Biochar Conversion
A pyrolysis kiln converts residue into biochar.
-
3
Soil Rejuvenation
Biochar is applied to farmers' fields to improve soil water retention and fertility.

Climate & Weather Advisory
Farmers receive advisory by SMS, in local languages, so planting and harvest decisions are based on information rather than guesswork.
