KarbonShift is a farmer-led movement to regenerate soil carbon in India’s villages. We empower farmers to turn agricultural residues into raw biochar, collect that biochar safely, process it into carbon-rich soil regeneration products, and return these products to the fields where they restore soil health season after season.
KarbonShift is a farmer-led movement to regenerate soil carbon in India’s villages. We empower farmers to turn agricultural residues into raw biochar, collect that biochar safely, process it into carbon-rich soil regeneration products, and return these products to the fields where they restore soil health season after season.
India’s soils are rapidly losing carbon, fertility, and resilience. Crop residues are burned, releasing carbon into the air instead of trapping it in the soil. This cycle hurts crop yields, increases fertilizer dependency, and weakens village agriculture.
Key Problem Points (Bullet List):
KarbonShift is not a carbon project. Not a kiln supplier. Not a product company.
We are a movement built around one fundamental belief:
When farmers lead, villages regenerate.
Our work supports farmers through simple methods, community networks, and carbon-rich soil products that restore the long-term health of their land.
To enable the global shift where farmers, partners, and communities return carbon to the soil and regenerate the Earth.
KarbonShift’s mission is to empower farmers and communities with simple tools and local partnerships that turn agricultural waste into raw biochar — and return carbon to the soil through carbon-rich regeneration products.
We equip farmers and partners with the right knowledge, tools, and practices to create lasting change.
We act with honesty and transparency — building trust in every product and partnership.
We restore soils, ecosystems, and livelihoods, ensuring benefits for future generations.
We design practical, farmer-first solutions that turn waste into opportunity at scale.
We create pathways for farmers, local enterprises, and communities to share in the benefits of sustainable solutions.
We are committed to enabling a global shift that restores carbon to the soil, strengthens resilience, and regenerates the Earth.

We enable farmers to produce raw biochar using simple village techniques. KarbonShift then collects all raw biochar and processes it into enriched soil regeneration products. These products are returned to farmers to rebuild soil carbon, enhance moisture retention, and strengthen long-term fertility.
Farmers turn residues into raw biochar instead of burning them.
Raw biochar is fully collected — none goes directly into fields.
Enriched with compost, nutrients, and biology.
Carbon-rich soil products regenerate soil for years.
KarbonShift was born from countless conversations with farmers looking for better soil, reduced burning, and more resilient agriculture. We realized that the answer was within the village itself: farmers already have the residues needed to rebuild soil carbon — they only need simple tools, local support, and a regenerative loop that returns carbon to their land.
Our movement is built on this simple insight:
Carbon belongs in the soil, not in the air.
A small team dedicated to farmer-led regeneration — guided by science, grounded in community.
Mitesh founded KarbonShift to build a simple, village-powered system that returns carbon to the soil. He leads the movement’s vision, field engagement, and farmer-first approach.
A globally respected expert in biochar, Dr. Paul guides KarbonShift on safe, effective, and village-ready biochar production methods — ensuring scientific rigor across the movement.
Dr. Paul Anderson — globally known as “Dr. TLUD” — has over 40 years of experience in:
His work spans Africa, Asia, and Latin America, bringing affordable, scalable carbon solutions to rural communities.
At KarbonShift, Dr. Anderson advises on:
✔ Kiln design and engineering
✔ Clean-burn principles
✔ Biochar quality optimization
✔ Rural deployment models
