KIWAMWAKU Foundation in collaboration with Mwanga District Council and LIANA from Finland, showcased the Forest Garden Project at the Nanenane Exhibition.

Farmers, extension officers, and staff participated in showcasing the project through seeds, fruits, brochures, a Forest Garden model, and live fence demonstrations.

Together, we are promoting sustainable agriculture, food security, climate resilience, and landscape restoration in Mwanga District.

In June, we had the pleasure of hosting visitors from the Mwanza Rural Housing Program for a learning visit focused on the establishment and protection of live fences.
The visit provided an opportunity to exchange practical experiences on how live fences can protect farms, improve biodiversity, reduce soil erosion and provide long-term environmental and economic benefits to farming communities.

We believe that knowledge sharing strengthens our collective efforts to build resilient landscapes and sustainable livelihoods.

As we approach the final phase of the Forest Garden Project, our focus is no longer only on project activities but also on ensuring that the impact continues long after the project ends.

This week, we brought together representatives from 26 farmer groups across Kileo, Kivisini, Lembeni and Kwakoa wards for a co-creation meeting to design the next chapter of their journey.

Rather than creating dependency, we are strengthening local ownership.

Together with project officers, extension officers and the farmers agreed to establish a structured Forest Garden Farmers network where group representatives will:
1. Collect and consolidate production data from all members.
2. Coordinate seed demand and bulk procurement.
3. Link farmers with reliable seed suppliers and produce buyers.
4. Share market information and business opportunities across farmer groups.
5. Monitor seed quality and strengthen communication among members.

Farmers also committed to establishing a Forest Garden Farmers Association, which will gradually take over many of the coordination roles currently supported by the project. Through this association, they will continue to:
1. Coordinate collective marketing.
2. Facilitate access to seeds.
3. Mobilize savings for future investments.
4. Promote agribusiness opportunities.
5. Encourage youth participation in agroecology farming.

One of the strongest indicators of sustainability is when communities begin planning their future independently.
During the meeting, farmers proposed practical long-term priorities support, including water storage infrastructure, irrigation systems and strengthening their Village Community Banks (VICOBA) to finance agricultural investments.

We believe sustainability is achieved when communities have the knowledge, organization and confidence to continue growing without relying on external support.

We conducted learning visits among Forest Garden farmers to promote peer to peer learning and practical knowledge exchange.

During the visits, farmers observed different approaches to live fencing, crop integration, fruit tree management and timber establishment within the Forest Garden system. They also learned various planting techniques for crops such as groundnuts, sunflower, maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, pigeon peas, pineapples and mixed vegetables within one acre.

The exchange strengthened farmer motivation, encouraged patience and long term commitment toward their goals and increased confidence that the project is creating positive impact through diversified farming systems, environmental restoration and improved livelihoods.

We are continuing to strengthen the Forest Garden system by integrating beekeeping for biodiversity conservation, tree protection and sustainable livelihoods.

After learning about bee types, hive construction, wax application and apiary site selection, farmers have now started practical implementation. Together with farmer representatives, we selected suitable sites near seasonal water streams and successfully hung 7 out of 15 top bar hives. The implementation also followed guidance from the District Beekeeping Officer on appropriate hive locations and safety considerations for nearby people and livestock. The hives were suspended using wire and protected with grease to prevent ants from entering.

Our step by step training approach helps farmers gain practical skills in colony management, hive inspection and honey harvesting, ensuring they can continue independently beyond the project period.

An encouraging sign of progress is that farmers have already reported bees entering some of the hives, showing positive early results from the implementation.

Through this initiative, beekeeping is also serving as a tool for forest and tree conservation while creating future income opportunities for farmers.

This week we implemented practical knowledge gained from the Syntropic Agroforestry Training conducted in November 2025 at Sokoine University of Agriculture.

We established one 54 meter syntropic agroforestry line integrating food crops, fruit trees, timber species and soil-improving plants within one productive system.

Before planting, the trench was prepared five weeks in advance using organic manure, sawdust and topsoil to improve soil fertility, moisture retention and microbial activity.

In total, we planted 54 seedlings and 112 seeds, including moringa, pigeon pea, Gliricidia, avocado, sugar apple, sweet orange and other fruit and timber species. Mulching materials such as banana stems and sawdust were also applied to support healthy plant establishment and conserve soil moisture.

We continue learning, experimenting and adapting syntropic agroforestry practices to local conditions in Tanzania, while promoting regenerative agriculture and knowledge exchange within communities.

Last week we conducted the third Agribusiness training session with farmers as we continue building knowledge and sustainable income opportunities within the groups.

During the lesson, farmers learned:
1. The difference between business and entrepreneurship.
2. Key components of a good business idea.
3. How to develop and write business ideas based on each farmer’s interests.
4. Simple and effective ways of keeping business records for better planning and growth.

The session also emphasized the importance of collaboration and market access. Farmers selected their contact person representatives who will help in:
1. Networking with farmer other groups from different areas.
2. Sourcing quality seeds.
3. Strengthening market linkages and business opportunities.
4. Sharing information and coordinating activities among farmers themselves.

We believe that knowledge, organization and cooperation are powerful tools for transforming agriculture and improving livelihoods.
