Tanzania. Farming and rural activity

01 November 2013, KIROKA, TANZANIA - Habiba Msonga examines her rice paddy. After implementing SRI techniques Msonga was able to finish building her home and is planning on becoming one of the first homes with electricity in the area. "Some farmers don't seem to understand that SRI farming is more beneficial," says Msonga, pointing out that since using SRI, there are no more water shortages among rice farmers. A 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.
