During the flood in October 2025, farmers in Hàm Thạnh Commune suffered significant damage to their agricultural production, especially dragon fruit—the main crop of the area. Prolonged flooding not only caused waterlogging but also weakened the root systems, severely affecting plant growth and productivity. In response, the technical team from Thiện Chí Center implemented a solution using biochar-based compost to improve soil quality and support plant recovery.
Biochar was applied to create a moisture-retaining layer around the plant base while providing beneficial microorganisms to help restore damaged roots. This model was carried out with six households over a period of two months. Initial results have shown positive signs, with dragon fruit plants gradually stabilizing, producing new shoots, and regaining vitality. This approach offers a sustainable solution, helping farmers recover from natural disasters and improve long-term agricultural productivity.
