ARF-3 final factsheet: BUNCH2Scale

“Scaling-up Biochar-Urine Nutrient Cycling for Health in Bangladesh (BUNCH2Scale)” is a Food & Business Applied Research Fund (ARF) project which received funding in the third ARF Call.

ARF projects tackle challenges related to Food and Nutrition Security and private sector development in the 15 partner countries of Dutch development cooperation. They all stem from the knowledge and innovation needs of farmers, practitioners and policymakers. The research-driven innovations support new tools and technologies for Food and Nutrition Security that should ultimately benefit the world’s most vulnerable people, especially women and children.

This ARF project has been finalized and research findings are available in this final factsheet. Main results include: producing biochar-based fertilizer on small farms was easy to learn; and yield benefits were large and consistent across crop types and production methods.
