| Abstract: |
The majorities of poor people in Nepal rely mostly on agriculture for employment and spend a high proportion of their income on food. Population densities continue to increase and resource available for maintaining people’s livelihood is becoming increasingly scarce. The available lands have decreased their productivity, which has not been able to address livelihoods and food security issues. Thus sustainable increase in land productivity in agriculture, through effective use of underutilized resources such as crop residues, rice husk, animal left over and biomass of invasive plant species (such as Eupatorium) continue to be crucial means through which both poverty reduction and economic growth are sought. In order to address this issue, ADB funded project, Sustainable Rural Ecology for Green Growth has tested the feasibility of using biomass of Eupatorium species for making biochar that refers to materials produced through Pyrolysis………………… |
