Over two days in Morogoro Region, Tanzania Green Revive facilitated a hands-on climate education workshop bringing together 200 smallholder farmers to learn practical strategies for adapting their agricultural practices to a changing climate.
More than 200 smallholder farmers from Morogoro Region gathered at the Morogoro Community Hall for a two-day Climate-Smart Agriculture workshop facilitated by Tanzania Green Revive in partnership with the Morogoro District Agricultural Office. The workshop is part of our broader Community Climate Education & Awareness programme, designed to equip rural communities with the knowledge and practical skills needed to adapt to increasingly unpredictable rainfall and temperature patterns.
Participants engaged in sessions covering: soil and water conservation techniques, the construction of water harvesting structures, intercropping strategies that build soil health and reduce crop failure risk, and the importance of agroforestry — integrating trees into farming systems to improve yields, reduce erosion, and sequester carbon. Field demonstrations were conducted on a model plot established specifically for the workshop, allowing farmers to observe and practise techniques in real time.
"Before this workshop, I did not understand why my yields kept decreasing even when the rains came," shared one farmer from Kilosa. "Now I understand how the land and the trees work together. I am going home with new ideas and new hope."
Tanzania Green Revive plans to follow up with participating farmers through a mentorship programme over the next six months, providing ongoing support, seed funding for water conservation structures, and monitoring visits. A second cohort workshop targeting an additional 200 farmers is planned for early next year.
We are grateful to all facilitators, community leaders, and government partners who made this event a success. If your organisation is interested in co-facilitating future workshops or supporting our climate education programme, please contact us.
