My contribution is to share with you my long and rich experience on the benefits of using biochar (a kind of ecological carbon), called \u201cthe third green revolution\u201d, in different climates, soil types and crops. This ecological carbon is one of the most promising strategies for restoring carbon to depleted soils, while sequestering significant quantities of CO2 over the long term.COP21 was a high point in demonstrating that agriculture can be an effective lever in the fight against global warming, and that biochar is a solution for the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elwatan-dz.com\/la-filiere-du-biochar-et-la-troisieme-revolution-verte-de-la-regeneration-des-sols-agricoles-la-sequestration-de-carbone-lenergie-lelectricite-a-la-depollution-des-sols-et-des-effluents\">The Biochar industry and the third green revolution: From agricultural soil regeneration, carbon sequestration, energy and electricity to soil and effluent decontamination &#8211; El watan.dz<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: M.
