After implementing SRI techniques Msonga was able to finish building her home and is planning on becoming one of the first homes with electricity in the area.

"It's something we may call climate-smart agriculture," says mission project co-ordinator Prof. Henry Mahoo, who teaches at the Sokoine University of Agriculture. The project aims to improve land and water management, promote climate resilient agriculture and encourage dialogue and understanding regarding climate change adaptation practices.
