The investment will drive Cotierra&#8217;s efforts in decentralized biochar production, targeting carbon removal and emission reduction in Colombia&#8217;s agricultural sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biochar, derived from biomass, offers a dual solution by sequestering carbon and enhancing soil health. With agriculture contributing 23% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Cotierra&#8217;s focus on sustainable practices is timely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colombia&#8217;s coffee industry serves as Cotierra&#8217;s initial target, given its significant footprint and the urgent need for sustainable practices. By converting coffee tree residues into biochar, Cotierra aims to sequester carbon while boosting soil fertility and farm productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-fluent-crm-conditional-content\"><div class=\"fc-cond-blocks\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7c1a4c1ee8bafae5d5065b126af965af\" style=\"color:#555555\"><strong>No se lo pierda.<\/strong> Suscr\u00edbase a nuestro bolet\u00edn para recibir los \u00faltimos contenidos directamente en su bandeja de entrada, o <a href=\"https:\/\/tribu.la\/es\/registrese-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reg\u00edstrese en<\/a> GRATIS para obtener acceso completo.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='fluentform ff-default fluentform_wrapper_2  ff_guten_block ff_guten_block-2 ffs_default_wrap'><form data-form_id=\"2\" id=\"fluentform_2\" class=\"frm-fluent-form fluent_form_2 ff-el-form-top ff_form_instance_2_1 ff-form-loading ffs_default\" data-form_instance=\"ff_form_instance_2_1\" method=\"POST\" action=\"\" ><fieldset  style=\"border: none!important;margin: 0!important;padding: 0!important;background-color: transparent!important;box-shadow: none!important;outline: none!important; min-inline-size: 100%;\">\n                    <legend class=\"ff_screen_reader_title\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0!important;padding: 0!important;height: 0!important;text-indent: -999999px;width: 0!important;overflow:hidden;\">Formulario de suscripci\u00f3n<\/legend><input type='hidden' name='__fluent_form_embded_post_id' value='13471' \/><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"_fluentform_2_fluentformnonce\" name=\"_fluentform_2_fluentformnonce\" value=\"c658645b56\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13471\" \/><div data-name=\"ff_cn_id_1\"  class='ff-t-container ff-column-container ff_columns_total_2'><div class='ff-t-cell ff-t-column-1' style='flex-basis: 65%;'><div class='ff-el-group'><div class='ff-el-input--content'><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" id=\"ff_2_email\" class=\"ff-el-form-control\" placeholder=\"Su correo electr\u00f3nico\" data-name=\"email\"  aria-invalid=\"false\" aria-required=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='ff-t-cell ff-t-column-2' style='flex-basis: 35%;'><div class='ff-el-group ff-text-left ff_submit_btn_wrapper ff_submit_btn_wrapper_custom'><button class=\"ff-btn ff-btn-submit ff-btn-md ff_btn_style wpf_has_custom_css\" type=\"submit\" name=\"custom_submit_button-2_1\" data-name=\"custom_submit_button-2_1\"  aria-label=\"Suscr\u00edbase a\">Suscr\u00edbase a<\/button><style>form.fluent_form_2 .wpf_has_custom_css.ff-btn-submit { background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);border-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);color:#ffffff;min-width:100%; }form.fluent_form_2 .wpf_has_custom_css.ff-btn-submit:hover { background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#409EFF;color:#409EFF;min-width:100%; } <\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/fieldset><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"trp-form-language\" value=\"es\"\/><\/form><div id='fluentform_2_errors' class='ff-errors-in-stack ff_form_instance_2_1 ff-form-loading_errors ff_form_instance_2_1_errors'><\/div><\/div>            <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n                window.fluent_form_ff_form_instance_2_1 = {\"id\":\"2\",\"settings\":{\"layout\":{\"labelPlacement\":\"top\",\"helpMessagePlacement\":\"with_label\",\"errorMessagePlacement\":\"inline\",\"asteriskPlacement\":\"\"},\"restrictions\":{\"denyEmptySubmission\":{\"enabled\":false}}},\"form_instance\":\"ff_form_instance_2_1\",\"form_id_selector\":\"fluentform_2\",\"rules\":{\"email\":{\"required\":{\"value\":true,\"message\":\"This field is required\"},\"email\":{\"value\":true,\"message\":\"This field must contain a valid email\"}}},\"debounce_time\":300};\n                            <\/script>\n            \n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets Cotierra apart is its decentralized approach, empowering smallholder farmers to produce biochar on-site or nearby.
