Zero Tillage: A New Way to Farm Smarter

Zero tillage, or no-till farming, is a smart way of farming that doesn't disturb the soil much when planting crops. Instead of plowing and digging up the soil, farmers leave it alone. This helps keep the soil healthy, prevents erosion, and saves water.

A #treenursery is under way in #Usolanga #Tanzania. It's a very #dry area and a challenging place to plant trees but trees are so very important for shade, #moistureretention, and #erosioncontrol. We will be planting fruit, shade, and soil improving trees.

Today, 8 August, is Nane-nane (National Agriculture Day) in Tanzania. Agriculture is extremely significant to rural communities in Tanzania. About 80% of Tanzanians are dependent on the land for their livelihood. In the Conservation Agriculture project, village farmers in the Mwanza region in Tanzania are learning new techniques to cultivate and to use what they have available to care for their land in a sustainable way. They are learning how to enrich the soil with organic compost and how to cover the soil with mulch to retain more of the soil’s moisture. They are also appreciating the importance of attuning their lives to God, who alone blesses the land and causes their crops to grow. Our prayer is that these farmers living in an area with a shortage of food will see the transforming power of God through agriculture. #EIUK84 #Nane-nane #Tanzania #ConservationAgriculture #MulchingBeans

World Soil Day

Stop soil erosion, Save our future. #WorldSoilDay 2019. It is important to sustain healthy ecosystems and human well-being by addressing the increasing challenges in soil management. The #conservationagriculture projects in the #EmmanuelInternational project countries raises the profile of healthy soil by encouraging churches, communities and individuals to engage in proactively improving soil health.

Teaching at Amani, Tanzania

In #Iringa, #EITanzania partners with the #Anglican #DioceseofRuaha to mobilise local churches to contribute to the #development of their communities, including #conservationagriculture, #treeplanting, #fuelefficientstoves, #communitybanks, etc. But the foundation for this development is being laid at #AmaniChristianTrainingCentre where EI staff are teaching #pastors and #evangelists a course on #ChurchandCommunity, preparing them to think #holistically about #ministry, meeting the needs of the whole person, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. In this way, EI is working backstage to equip its #partnerchurch and not working only on the front lines of development.
