India's green economy gains momentum from farm waste conversion

India's transition toward a greener economy is increasingly rooted in agricultural waste management. Biochar and biogas production from farm residue offer promising alternatives to traditional disposal methods, potentially transforming rural livelihoods and environmental outcomes.

These technologies convert what farmers typically burn—stubble and crop waste—into valuable energy sources and soil amendments. The approach addresses air quality concerns from agricultural burning while creating economic opportunities in rural areas.
