BIO4Africa aims to develop, adapt and pilot bio-based technologies with the potential to help combat poverty and improve food security in African farming communities.

The technologies were all selected following surveys of local farmer needs and assessments of existing agri-food systems and residues. To ensure acceptance, community workshops were also conducted in each of the four pilot countries.

These are the technologies we are working on:

• Small-scale green biorefinery
• Hydrothermal carbonisation
• Densification technologies
• Pyrolysis and biochar
• Biocomposites and bioplastics
