Kanakantapa
On August 8, 2024, GAYO launched a new project titled "Agroecology for Climate Resilience at Household Level." The project focuses on two key objectives:
- Spreading and deepening agroecological practices among 300 women and 100 youths in the Kanakantapa area of Chongwe district.
- Demonstrating the benefits of agroecological transitioning to smallholder farmers.
This project is GAYO’s first response to the recent drought that has severely impacted farmers in the region. Supported by GGF, it will run for 12 months
The training, facilitated by Kasisi Agricultural Training Center, focuses on equipping women and youths with essential skills in agroecology. After completing the training, participants will establish agroecology gardens at the Green Innovation Hub in Kanakantapa.
Key lessons from the training emphasize the importance of resilience through organic farming practices. Farmers are encouraged to produce their own compost and Bokashi, both of which were successfully demonstrated on-site. The Tiyende Pamozi Multipurpose Youth Cooperative, along with two other cooperatives, participated in the training.
We urge farmers to prepare for climate shocks by adopting agroecological practices that not only protect but also enhance the environment.
