Given the shortage of conventional fuels such as kerosene and [...]]]></description>

Some facts about carbon!
- Low carbon in the soils leads to depleted organic carbon (OC) -
-Low OC means poor soils
-Poor soils means &#8220;food insecurity&#8221;
-Africa soils are &#8220;Carbon&#8221; deficient due to many factors- including the burning of material to &#8220;ASH&#8221;
-There is less available biomass material to burn for rural folk in Africa (about 80% rely on [...]]]></description>
