About Biosmart Initiative
BioSmart Initiative is a student project from the University of Exeter aiming at spreading the knowledge and use of biochar - charcoal made from waste.
Biosmart Initiative Description
Our project was founded in 2013 by a group of students at the University of Exeter who came across the hidden world of Biochar enthusiasts. These students decided to make use of the positive impacts of Biochar and spread the word and give developing countries the means to take advantage of these benefits.
Our aim is to set up a social enterprise that will promote the use of Biochar wherever it might be useful. Our role is that of technology transfer, making sure we provide the necessary instructions and advice to empower communities through biochar. Our goal is for these communities to ultimately make a sustainable income for themselves and creating a positive impact on their communities, tackling the problems such as fuel poverty and poor crop yields. These practices will aid us in developing the necessary solutions to overcome these problems while being conscious of the environment.
