Agricultural byproducts converted to biochar to enhance soil functionality through sustainable innovation

Agricultural by-products or residues remain in the soil and are considered a burden unless properly managed. Traditionally, agricultural by-products and agro-food industry-derived waste streams are managed through composting or incineration, but these methods fail to unlock the wastes full potential. Thus, a promising yet unexplored research area for sustainable management of agricultural waste needs to be investigated. Under these circumstances, this review paper positions the conversion of the
