Soil Doctors manufactures and promotes application of Carbon Sink Planters (CSP) which is an innovative drought resistant technology and an input that assists in restoration of fodder, fruit and native trees in arid and semi-arid areas. Carbon sink planters boost tree survival to 85% in dry areas. These microclimate planters are a simple solution for dryland farming. They're hollow boxes with a central space for seedlings and saplings, lined with a mix of rocks, organic fertilizer, and biochar. The planters lower irrigation costs and enrich soil around roots, aiding strong growth in tough conditions.
Carbon Sink Planters are used for growing trees in dry and degraded lands; Acts as an agent for soil improvement; Valuable soil enhancer that can hold carbon, boost food security and increase soil biodiversity; Highly porous product that helps soils to retain nutrients and water; An effective way to sequestrate carbon and fight against climate change. An innovative, pioneer, and cost effective soil and water conservation technique for regenerating degraded lands.
Usage of carbon sink planters will re-establish lost business opportunities and improve household livelihoods, including good health, food security, environment, and new jobs. This technology will be welcomed by marginalized communities living in dry lands as an input for their income generation activities such as fruit tree nurseries businesses, fruit production businesses, and will trigger the creation of innovative enterprises with value addition and processing.
