Abstract
The desire for sustainable and productive agriculture is universal but the means to progress towards it remains elusive. This is why organic farming, as a more sustainable form of agriculture than the conventional type, is being advocated by various organizations the world over. However, the organic farming system, as it is currently practised, is not necessarily, truly sustainable in terms of soil productivity and crop yield. This paper discussed the likely positive effect of the intervention of biochar technology on organic farming. The relevance of biochar technology to organic farming is considered in relation to the reported beneficial effects of biochar on soil and crop production.
