Gains for Generations with Prime Biochar
Переглядів 3932 роки тому
Sakeus Kafula grew up watching common agricultural practices in northern Namibia and the resulting signs of land degradation. This ignited his interest in studying agriculture and finding restoration solutions. He founded Prime Biochar in 2017, a proud Namibian product made from encroacher bush biomass. It aids to retain soil moisture and nutrients, thereby building healthy soils for thousands ...
Biochar - Investing in the Future
Переглядів 16 тис.2 роки тому
Biochar has been used for thousands of years. It can be traced back to the Amazon basin, which has some of the most carbon-rich soils on earth. Biochar has a great potential to help Namibia adapt to climate change. It can be used to improve soil quality as well as animal health. Although this product is relatively new to the Namibian market, it fills a unique niche because it is made from encro...

Переглядів 2182 роки тому
Background Rangelands in Namibia are severely affected by the bush encroachment phenomenon accounting for about 45 percent of the country. For farmers and resource managers, controlling the bush and restoring rangeland is a cost they often cannot afford. The Namibia Biomass industry Group (N-BiG) developed an excel based tool to assist farmers and resource managers in accurately estimating bush...

Where can I buy biochar
Vervaardig Houtskool van Sekelbos.
Firefly Charcoal
Van Zeerust Suid Afrika.
Goeie naand.
The future is all we have left , the most important thing we hand down to our child is the land that can feed them for life.
Well doing, Namibia!
Do they plant new trees to keep up with nature?
This is great but doesn't the wood burning create a lot of C02 emissions?
Not as much as it stores. Emissions depend on the pyrolysis technology and are factored in, i.e. deducted, when carbon credits are issued.
The biomass that is turned into char SHOULD be only biomass that is already at risk of biodegrading, in which case in a matter of years most of not all of the carbon would be released back into the atmosphere. If you take that biomass and char it instead, you release maybe 50 - 75% of the carbon quickly during the burn, but the remaining 25 - 50% of the carbon is locked into a non-biodegradable form which stays as a solid for hundreds or thousands of years.
LONG LIVE THE MOTHERLAND
It is really helpful thanks 😊
Glad to hear that
Use the left over wood that are to thick to make biochar. ;)
Really interesting
Glad you think so!
My grandparents who were the children of African slaves in America used this technique in there farming when I was a little boy seventy years ago. I am sure that they learned it from their parents and grandparents.
My family escaped genocide in Germany 1919 and are mistakingly discriminated against and racistly called colonist. It was the culture for all country families in America. You would take your wood stove ashes and put it on the garden. Pushed off as a magically new idea to buy after banning wood stoves.

Their English is awesome
Great work! How can I contact you? Can I get your contact info?

Hello friends, How're you doing today? Sorry for the random approach as you have fun here, I went through comment and saw so many ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you’re open minded to look a new way of generating income, it may or may not be fit for you but if I send you some information about it would you like to check it out?
Thank you! Great video! Keep it up! :)
I was about to comment the same , Great Video!
Few years to come from Bush to desert.
This will accelerate desertification if not controlled or managed sustainably.
Interesting to learn about this and to see how this can be applied in farms in Cameroon. Anyway you can help?
♥️👍

Clever, but can't wonder why no one has suggested composting some of it to generate compost teas which can be sprayed to generate ground cover which in turn will sequester whatever rain they will get. Wouldn't goats (rather than sheep) go after the leaves and flowers in situ?
Watching from England really interesting
Which bushtrees can be used? What is the nutrition value?
Which type of bush

Mr Petter pack can you give any opportunity to talk to you sir am situated at the bank off kwando river in Kongola constituancy in Zambezi region interested to farm vegetables in order to bosit our country's food needs.
Namibia 70 years ago ... was a huge open space. It is the intense breeding (cattle and sheep) and more particularly the overgrazing that caused the explosion of the bush .... Debushing is a long-term investment but it is THE solution. See link below : ua-cam.com/video/BE3WSMzq-3c/v-deo.html
Impressive video, great Job.

Bush encroachment and farmers who are soo busy cutting down so many trees to make coal..what are the long terms effect in the environment ?
It's literally deforestation
Desertification. And Namibia is mostly desert

How much would it cost to sell a bag of bush feed
THAT LAND IS. GOING TO. BECOME A DESERT
There are alot more bush than 25 years ago so bush encroucment is winning not us
whaw thumps up.this is a masterpiece rock solid.Bak gat
I think this will turn the country more to deforestation.
Bush is not exactly the same as a forest. Also Namibia used to be more open, removing the bush will help cattle farming (preferably with holistic managed grazing), as the establishment of grassland as a carbon sink, water infiltration, help wildlife and help other industries such as photo tourism, charcoal production etc. Needless to say it will also provide jobs.
