At Dane Soilless Farms, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. One of our innovative environmental strategies involves the use of rice hulls —an abundant agricultural byproduct—as a raw material to produce biochar. Through a controlled pyrolysis process, rice hulls are converted into biochar, a stable form of carbon that can be stored in soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This process not only reduces the release of harmful methane and carbon dioxide that would typically occur if rice hulls were burned or left to decompose, but it also enriches our growing medium by improving water retention, nutrient efficiency, and microbial activity. By transforming agricultural waste into a tool for climate action, Dane Soilless Farms is not only feeding communities but also contributing to a **net-zero future**—one farm, one credit at a time.
The result is a farming system that produces more with less—less water, less fertilizer, and less environmental impact. The carbon captured and sequestered through our biochar production is **measurable and verifiable**, enabling us to generate **carbon credits** under internationally recognized standards. These credits can then be traded in carbon markets, providing an additional stream of income that supports the expansion of our farmer training programs and cluster farm development.
At agronix we are passionate about supporting the financial cooperative movement that currently improves the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
