Farmers teach others how to improve techniques
How does one improve farming techniques in the southern highlands of Tanzania? You teach a few who will teach others. That is what has been happening in the Diocese of Southern Highlands in Tanzania since 2004 through Integrated Community Development. Five agriculture extension workers (two women and three men) were trained in environmentally friendly techniques of livestock husbandry, zero grazing, and improved crop selections. These five workers trained trainers of trainers and together they have trained 250 farmers from 10 villages, thereby increasing the farmers’ knowledge on improved farming methods.
Please PRAY for the ongoing training and education of Tanzanian farms so their livelihoods can improve.
