By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Daily News
In Tanzania, farmers in Bahi District, in the Dodoma Region, report better maize harvests after trees regenerated on their land. The Kisiki Hai initiative aims to restore more than 32 million trees across 500,000 hectares of farmland, according to the Daily News.
The regeneration of more than 32 million trees across 500,000 hectares of farmland undergoing restoration is beginning to improve maize harvests and water retention among farmers in Tanzania’s Bahi District, reports the Daily News.
In Mkondai, in the Dodoma Region, harvests were poor before farmers joined the Kisiki Hai programme run by the LEAD organisation, farmers’ representatives Godfrey Wilson and Lucas Pupung’a said. Environmental degradation had prevented the soil from retaining water for long enough. The regenerated trees have also improved soil fertility, according to the farmers.
