Warm Heart's Global Stop the Smoke Initiative
Warm Heart is proud to introduce our Global Stop the Smoke, an initiative aimed at empowering smallholder farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture practices worldwide.
With a strong foundation in Northern Thailand, where we began working with local farmers, our program has now expanded to Africa, making a significant impact on farming communities.

Our Training Approach
|
At Warm Heart, we believe in providing practical training to farmers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to produce biochar and improve their crop production sustainably.
We started by offering free training to smallholder farmers in Northern Thailand, teaching them how to construct biochar ovens and utilize their crop waste to produce biochar effectively. You can find free information on our Biochar Training page. |

Expanding Our Reach in Africa
We are excited with the expansion of our program in Africa.
Through partnerships with local communities, we help establish biochar training programs tailored to their specific needs.
We begin by training a group of farmers on how to make biochar using trenches and crop waste.
This hands-on approach ensures that the knowledge and skills are transferred effectively.
