With the support of the #WATDEV Project @ASARECA, in collaboration with @kalromkulima, has facilitated the acquisition of 1,000 tree seedlings of cashew nut and mango for the Hola Irrigation Farmers Cooperative. This cooperative, which consists of over 1,000 farmers, including women and youth, will utilize these seedlings for agroforestry demonstration plots. The initiative aims to promote knowledge exchange on Best Management Practices (BMPs) and foster sustainable agroforestry practices. The initiative aligns with the #WATDEV Project’s broader objective of enhancing climate resilience and sustainable water management across Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. By setting up these demonstration plots, farmers gain practical insights into climate-smart agriculture, improved soil health, water conservation, and enhanced farm productivity. Funded by the European Union @EU_Commission through @CIHEAMBari and @aics_it, the #WATDEV Project continues to support communities in adapting innovative practices for a more resilient agricultural future. #ClimateSmartAg #SustainableAgriculture #Innovation4Ag #Agroforestry #FarmersFirst #WATDEVProject 🔗 Learn more about the WATDEV Project here: watdev.eu asareca.org/watdev-project/ @g_ladisa @WatDev1 @blaiseamony @sdbaguma @BenIlakut

Tana River County Executive Committee Member for Lands, Physical Planning, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Veterinary Services, and Cooperative Development, Madam Mwanajuma Hiribae, alongside officials from @ASARECA, @CIHEAMBari, and @kalromkulima, leads a tree-planting exercise to promote agroforestry and sustainable irrigation practices. “Agroforestry is not just about planting trees; it’s about securing our future. Integrating trees into our farming systems improves soil health, conserves water, and builds resilience against climate change. Today, as we plant these trees in Tana River County during the ongoing #WATDEV Roadshow, we reaffirm our commitment to sustainable agriculture, ensuring that future generations inherit a land that is fertile, productive, and thriving.” Madam Mwanajuma Hiribae. This initiative, under the #WATDEV Project, raises farmers' awareness of the benefits of agroforestry, enhancing soil health, improving water management, and boosting farm productivity. @EU_Commission, @aics_it #ClimateSmartAg #SustainableAgriculture #Agroforestry #Farmers #WATDEVProject #TreePlanting #Innovation4Ag @g_ladisa @sdbaguma @BenIlakut
