AfriBam is a project in Malawi that utilises a regenerative model to grow large quantities of bamboo in an old tobacco plantation. This is then turned into biochar compost to restore soils and increase crop yields.

Artisanal biochar is produced using small-scale, often traditional methods accessible to rural communities. Biochar is a charcoal-looking, carbon-rich substance that is produced when materials like agricultural residues are heated in a process called pyrolysis.
