Our Story
In the lush eastern belt of India, where paddies sync with monsoonal rhythm, rice is not just a staple, it is a cultural leitmotif. Often left to ignoble ends, they emit methane, which even if not a classic GHG, is harmful for the environment. If burnt, it produces Carbon dioxide, the posterboy of GHG emissions.
Paddy waste, including rice husk, does not have any other value. Hence, LongStraw waves its wand (read pyrolyser) and converts these into biochar. Ancient agricultural knowledge and cutting edge technology comes together here to create this chalky substance which can be a stellar soil conditioner, a great and sustainable additive to construction materials, pharmaceutical and cosmetic and perfume additives and a handful of other uses.
We distribute this charcoal-y treasure to farmers whose fields are parched of nutrients, enabling a regenerative cycle where soil is conditioned & enriched, and Carbon sequestered.

Why Eastern India?
Despite having one of the most topographically conducive environments for agriculture, eastern India farmers have historically not been able to rake in the moolah, when it comes to selling farm produce. This failure is mostly attributed to the lack of soil tech know-how, limited access to high quality fertilisers and soil quality issues. Biochar can be the harbinger of change here.
