      Biochar has already been a hotspot in agriculture, energy and environment. In this paper, the influences of biochar on soil, crops, agricultural eco-system, and food security of China were reviewed comprehensively. Biochar has showed important roles in controlling non-point source pollution, improving soil quality, increasing soil production, alleviating climate changes, and maintaining agro-ecosystem stability. The prospect of biochar industrialization and development in China was also proposed.
