Economical Analysis of Bio-Carbonization as a Practice in Agricultural Management (Análisis Económico De La “Bio-Carbonización” Como Práctica De Manejo Agrícola)
The high concentration of gases due to global heating, specifically CO2, have been signaled as the main cause of climatic change. The adoption of agricultural practices that are able to increase the content of carbon on the soil has been proposed as a low-cost strategy and immediately available to reduce this phenomenon. Biocarbonization is one of the agricultural practices that implies application of carbon to the soil. This is the first article that evaluates the financial viability of this practice and considers some of its economic effects, estimated for a farm in the high plains of Colombia. The net present value of the increase in benefits is of US$ 534,139, which represents an increase of 39.2% in relation to the base line, indicating the financial viability of biocarbonization. In the same sense, the economic benefits associated to the Bio-carbonization make this an adequate practice for the capture of carbon.
