Marking a farmers’ field day deep down in the rurals of
Kodumba village, near Ruma National park, was a stride appreciated by most farmers in
the locality of the hailing ‘field school’ event. With a keen listen to the
voices of the people, one would surely agree to it that it had come to the
attention of the farmers in deep rurals that a great number of relevant
information and activities had surpassed them in favour of those residing in
the urban due to a notion that had been developed by most developers and organizers
of such caliber.
On the 2
nd July 2013, Ndhiwa Ministry of
Agriculture, ALIN, APHIA II Plus, LACRAF, Animal Draft among many other
stakeholders hit the dusty and bumpy road to deliver tested modern practical
and achievable knowledge to the communities of Upper Kayambo sub-location,
Ndhiwa Division.
The idea of helping villagers
to develop a community forest or having 10% of their land covered by trees is a
good way of reducing emissions through Agroforestry and now that the effects of
climate change are here with us, we must work towards it’s adaptation with a surging
strong force geared towards its further mitigation, that was a message from Mr.
William Kera, Crops Officer, Ndhiwa Division. The message was clear as it
received major back up from all the stakeholders who took on the platform.
The demo site had a lot to learn from ranging from the production
of the orphaned crops, horticulture, use of fertilizer and certified seeds,
soil conservation, market platforms and how to make compost manure. That alone
not being enough, the DAO, Mr. Buge, was also quick to appreciate the added facts
that were available on the exhibition stands citing that time had come for serious
producers to change from indigenous to modern modes of production. The image
was clear to the eyes of many that we have a number of ready market platforms
with ready buyers who are waiting for standard farm products to buy instantly
but production here was still very low.
Otherwise we term the day to be of success
sincefarmers were able to interact with various specialists who readily
responded to their inquiries.
