A research team has made a significant step forward in developing silica-enriched biochar that improves soil fertility and reduces methane emissions in acid-stressed rice fields. This innovation directly contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by supporting food security.
Led by Sofyan, E.T, the study demonstrates how biochar application can enhance soil health, boost rice productivity, and lower methane release, offering a sustainable solution for climate-smart agriculture. This breakthrough helps ensure more resilient farming systems while addressing global challenges of food security and climate change.
