Tanzania. Farming and rural activity

01 November 2013, KIROKA, TANZANIA - Farmer Rajabu Juma weeds on the steep incline of his farm in Kiroka. "Other farmers are skeptical," Juma says of contour farming. "They see digging trenches as an inconvenience, but I've seen the benefit. We are able to limit soil erosion as well as preserve water and fertility." An FAO project to strengthen capacity of farms for climate change is underway in Kiroka, Tanzania. "It's something we may call climate-smart agriculture," says mission project co-ordinator Prof. Henry Mahoo, who teaches at the Sokoine University of Agriculture. The project aims to improve land and water management, promote climate resilient agriculture and encourage dialogue and understanding regarding climate change adaptation practices.
