Food Security: Biochar & Livestock
Feed
Ecosom converts Prosopis into biochar and animal feed, boosting soil health and livestock productivity. Over 15,000 tons of biochar improved yields by 40–60% on 3,500+ farms. 25,000+ tons of feed increased goat weight gain to 90–120g/day and milk yield in cows and camels by 100–150%.
Key Interventions
Biochar for Soil Fertility: Converting agricultural waste into high-quality biochar to boost crop yields by 30–50%, improve water retention, and restore degraded soils.
Nutrient-Rich Livestock Feed: Using Prosopis pods and other local ingredients to produce affordable, drought-resilient animal feed, resulting in:
- 80–100% faster weight gain in goats & sheep
- 100–150% higher milk yields in cows & camels
Women-Led Production: With 70% of feed production managed by women, we are creating green jobs and strengthening household incomes.
Impact Goals by 2026
40,000+ tons of livestock feed produced
10,000+ farms adopting biochar-based soil solutions
50% increase in food and income security for pastoralist families
Our integrated approach connects food production, carbon reduction, and land restoration, proving that climate action and food security can go hand in hand.
