Integrated Agriculture-Based Land Use In Areas With Saline Soils

Salinity and associated land degradation in parts of the Northeast of Thailand limits production. Knowledge of saline soil management was integrated into an organic agriculture system: dolomite application adjusted pH levels, manure increased the soil’s organic matter, while fermented bio-extracts stimulated root systems. Yields of chili pepper and parsley improved greatly.

Biochar production training

This video captures a hands-on Biochar Production Training held in Chiangdao, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Local farmers and community members learned how to produce biochar and wood vinegar using simple, low-cost kilns. The training aimed to promote sustainable farming practices and soil health through practical, on-site demonstrations. It was conducted as part of the ALiSEA Small Grant Facility 2023 to strengthen community-based biochar knowledge and networks.

The ‘Do All’ Biochar Wood Vinegar Kiln

This video showcases “The ‘Do All’ Biochar Wood Vinegar Kiln”, a practical and efficient design that allows small-scale farmers to produce both biochar and wood vinegar from agricultural waste. Developed at the ECHO Asia Farm in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the kiln supports sustainable farming practices. This initiative is part of the ALiSEA Small Grant Facility 2023, which aims to strengthen biochar producer networks across the region.

The “Do-All” biochar and wood vinegar kiln

This ALiSEA technical leaflet describes how to make Biochar and Wood Vinegar in 5 steps with a “Do-All” Biochar-Wood Vinegar Kiln.
NB : Understanding the steps requires looking at the general principles of pyrolysis and how these kilns are designed.
