01 November 2013, KIROKA, TANZANIA - A teacher watches as students water teak trees planted at Kiroka Primary School. "People don't just plant trees for the sake of trees. The concept of a tree with immediate benefits was key," says Prof. Henry Mahoo, who teaches at the Sokoine University of Agriculture. A FAO project to strengthen capacity of farms for climate change is underway in Kiroka, Tanzania. "It's something we may call climate-smart agriculture," says mission project co-ordinator Mahoo. The project aims to improve land and water management, promote climate resilient agriculture and encourage dialogue and understanding regarding climate change adaptation practices.
