Worldwide, semiarid rainfed areas are among the most vulnerable to the effects of global warming on agriculture. Biochar, a carbon-rich byproduct of pyrolysis, improves soil health and reduces emissions of greenhouse gases; it is an environmentally friendly option. In this study, we look at how biochar may improve soil fertility, decrease nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions, and sequester carbon. Biochar is perfect for semiarid regions because of its porous nature, which helps to retain more water and lessen soil erosion. Research in India and sub-Saharan Africa has shown that biochar may reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing agricultural yields by 150%. However, problems including poor awareness and high manufacturing costs must be resolved to achieve broad acceptance. Regarding combating climate change, biochar is an essential weapon for sustainable agriculture.
