At Consuming Carbon Corporation, we transform degraded lands into thriving ecosystems through the power of biochar and bamboo reforestation.

Born from over 20 years of farming experience and a commitment to healing the soil naturally, our work empowers local farmers, creates sustainable jobs, and captures carbon to fight climate change on a large scale. With deep roots in Africa and strong ties in the U.S., we partner with communities and corporations to regenerate landscapes and deliver trusted carbon credits—building a healthier planet, one field at a time.

Turning biochar, bamboo and waste into certified, high-value carbon credits—powered by communities, partnerships, and climate innovation.
