Husk Ventures

We are the world’s leading producer of biochar-based fertilizers. We are part of a growing ecosystem of individuals and organizations committed to improving smallholder farmers’ lives through regenerative agriculture. That is why Heloise Buckland and Carol Rius co-founded this innovative, impact-driven business in Barcelona (Spain), and Phnom Penh (Cambodia). Our team includes agronomists, biologists, engineers and experts in biochar and regenerative agriculture… but above all, we are a group of committed individuals who want to make a difference. The rice plant absorbs carbon dioxide, and we use the husk to create products for the soil: organic biochar, carbon based fertilizers and biopesticides in Cambodia, using a smokeless process known as pyrolysis, we have created the world’s first biochar plant in a rice mill. When the farmers apply our products on their crops, the carbon is buried in the soil, where it remains for hundreds of years. HUSK biochar products are vegetables, fruit and nut trees and arable crops and can significantly increase yields from the first application. HUSK biochar products help farmers increase long term profitability, regenerate degraded soils and improve yields** becoming more resilient to climate change.
