At Equation Coffee, we believe that specialty coffee starts with healthy, nutrient-filled soils.

Soil is where all food begins and regenerating soil health is essential to restoring rural livelihoods, our natural ecosystems and reaching net zero.

This is why we’re committed to treating soils as a ‘stakeholder’ in its own right; just as important a stakeholder as the coffee grower communities we support, or our partner companies who roast the coffee.

BIOCHAR

One our pioneer programs

The Biochar Program is an innovative initiative, powered by Biodiversal and Cirkular Agro Fintech, that transforms agricultural waste, such as coffee prunings, Into biochar—a carbon-rich material that enhances soil health, sequesters carbon, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This regenerative solution addresses critical climate challenges while promoting sustainable agriculture and empowering local farming communities, showcasing Equation's commitment to blending science, sustainability, and community impact.

What is Biochar?

Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced by heating organic waste in a low-oxygen environment(a process called pyrolysis).
This process captures and stores carbon that would otherwise be released as CO₂, and other greenhouse gasses (GHGs) making Biochar a powerful tool for carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
