Our recent regional workshop taught farmers about ELUM – ecological land use management.

From 6-11 September, 20 farmers from Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe came together to learn from trainers and lead farmers we’d previously trained. The training focused on organic conservation agriculture and included:

- Many practical exercises. The farmers built a ferro–cement tank, constructed an A-frame and prepared manure fertiliser
- Many field visits, such as to a banana wine processing plant,organic farms and a biogas plant
- Teachings on water conservation, agroforestry and integrating animals into the farm

We have created a photo diary of the training.

The training was hosted by CHEMA (Community Habitat Environmental Management), a PELUM Tanzania member.
