Problem
Conventional agriculture relies heavily on synthetic fertilizers and generates large amounts of poultry litter waste, leading to nutrient runoff, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Farmers and gardeners lack affordable, sustainable soil amendments that simultaneously improve soil health and sequester carbon.
Solution
Carbon Chicken offers CC80:20, a pelletized soil amendment composed of 80 % composted chicken litter and 20 % inoculated biochar enriched with a proprietary microbial treatment. The pellets provide timed‑release nutrients, enhancing microbial activity and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers across residential gardens, commercial landscaping, and large‑scale farms. By upcycling poultry waste into a stable biochar‑based product, CC80:20 lowers water runoff, captures carbon in the soil, and supports regenerative, carbon‑negative farming practices.
Target Audience
Primary customers include residential gardeners, commercial landscapers, and agricultural producers seeking sustainable, low‑input soil amendments for improved crop yields and environmental outcomes.
Features
- Pelletized formulation for easy handling and uniform, season‑long nutrient release
- Blend of composted chicken litter (nutrient source) and inoculated biochar (soil structure, carbon sequestration)
- Proprietary microbial inoculant that boosts soil microbial activity and nutrient availability
- Long‑lasting biochar component that remains in the soil year after year, continuously improving soil health
- Reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers, decreasing input costs and chemical runoff
- Contributes to carbon sequestration goals by locking carbon in stable biochar and reducing CO₂ emissions from waste decomposition
