Sustainable Agriculture empowers smallholders by providing them with the skills and resources needed to increase crop yields and diversify their farming methods. This not only boosts their income but also ensures food security for their families and communities. By adopting sustainable practices, these farmers contribute to environmental conservation and create a more resilient agricultural ecosystem, benefiting the entire community.
Volunteers in the Sustainable Agriculture project in Arusha can assist smallholders by sharing modern farming techniques, helping to implement sustainable practices, and providing hands-on support in the fields. Volunteers can choose tasks according to their knowledge and interests or as instructed by the local staff and farmers. Work with local communities who live in the regions, and conserve the environment and different agricultural activities through indigenous methods.
This project incorporates mostly horticulture (herbs, spices, veggies, flowers, seed production) and in some cases agroforestry (synotropic, silviculture, apiculture, meliponiculture). The work volunteers take part in will vary seasonally, and will depend on the work already underway at the time you join the project.
