Biochar in Congo: on the river

Amede Daki Bopolo, project manager of ADAPEL, explains how we will cross and follow the Congo river to our project site. We're standing on the bank of the river in Lisala, in the D.R.C's Equateur Province.
Interview conducted by Laurens Rademakers.

Congolese NGO ADAPEL and Biochar Fund's project in the D.R. Congo aims to solve four problems simultaneously: biochar will improve soil fertility, sequester carbon, phase out slash-and-burn farming and yield renewable energy.
Thus the project fights hunger, climate change, deforestation and energy insecurity amongst some of the world's poorest people.

Project funded by the UK and Norway's Congo Basin Forest Fund; financial oversight by the African Development Bank.
