Breakthrough Energy writes about Takachar, which is transforming the global agriculture sector.
- Takachar has developed a portable device that converts natural farm waste into bioproducts such as fertilizer or biofuels.
- The portability of this device will help farmers in underserved and extremely rural areas.
- This innovation will also reduce air pollution levels in developing countries where farmers are forced to burn crop residue at the end of the harvest because they do not have the resources to transport waste to a centralized place.
- Entrepreneurship is driving breakthroughs in climate technology and innovation.
“Vidyut explained that his drive for launching Takachar and advancing clean tech started early, sharing, ‘I grew up in New Delhi, and the city is known to have one of the worst air qualities in the world. You can see it around here right now, right? This is due to the open burning of agricultural waste here. So every winter, we would have very bad air quality and part of it would be contributed by the open burning of agricultural waste in farms surrounding the city.'”
