Meet farmer Iddy

This is farmer Iddy from Kalya village, one of our first cohort of 100 farmers who have established their agroforestry plots in 2024. In his system, Iddy is growing cash crops and fodder for livestock. As well as improving his family's income and nutrition, agroforestry provides more species diversity, overall tree cover and soil quality to his land, as well as reducing deforestation pressure on natural forests nearby. The project's aim is for 5000 farmers like Iddy to be trained in agroforestry practices and provided with seedlings over 5 years, and as the average household size in Tanzania is 4.6, the project will directly reach around 23 000 people.
