Bio-Logical

Bio-Logical empowers African smallholder farmers with sustainable solutions. We convert agricultural waste into Asili, a biochar-based organic fertilizer that boosts yields, improves soil health, and enhances drought resistance. Our goal is to remove 1 million tonnes of CO2 and support 1 million farmers annually by 2030, fostering food security and land regeneration.

Industry Problem

Bio-Logical addresses climate change impacts on vulnerable African smallholder farmers by tackling soil degradation, drought, low crop yields, and food insecurity through sustainable carbon removal and land regeneration solutions.

R&D Focus

Bio-Logical focuses its Research and Development on nature-based carbon removal technologies and soil regeneration solutions tailored for climate-vulnerable smallholder farmers in Africa. Their niche lies in developing biochar-based fertilisers from agricultural waste that enhance drought resistance, improve soil health, boost crop yields, and increase food security while actively sequestering carbon to combat climate change.

Innovative Solution

Bio-Logical solves climate and farming challenges by converting agricultural waste into biochar, which is used to make an organic fertiliser called Asili. This fertiliser captures carbon to reduce emissions, improves soil health, boosts drought resistance, and increases crop yields, helping vulnerable smallholder farmers adapt to climate change while restoring their land and securing their livelihoods.

Solution Effectiveness

Bio-Logical aims to remove 1 million tonnes of CO2 and support 1 million smallholder farmers annually by 2030. Their fertiliser, Asili, has been proven in trials to outperform all other organic fertilisers by significantly boosting crop yields and improving soil drought resistance. This directly enhances food security and land regeneration for vulnerable communities facing severe climate impacts such as droughts and soil degradation.

M&A and Collabs

Collab

Microsoft collaborated with Bio-Logical in 2024, to purchase 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ removal credits. This collaboration represents Microsoft’s first biochar carbon removal deal in Africa and aims to scale environmental and social impacts in Kenya.

Collab

Bio-Logical collaborated with klimate in 2022, highlighting their efforts in processing agricultural waste into high-quality biochar. Their circular economy model involves strategic partnerships with large agribusinesses throughout the Mt. Kenya region, utilizing waste from production processes to create bio-fertilizer distributed to smallholder farmers.
