This project will build farmers' incubation center in Eastern Tanzania, which will provide free farming knowledge, nutrition, and healthy diet knowledge, farming business skills, frees vegetable seeds and drip irrigation systems to farmers' groups. The project will be train 2400 farmers annually. It will have a farm size of one acre and one training room which will be used to train the smallholder farmers. This will be farmers' inspirational and innovation center to nurture farming skills.
Most of the smallholder farmers in Eastern Tanzania are producing below the average yield per acre which in turn results in low income as most of the produce is used for consumption rather than commercial, the farmers do not have farming plan with nutrition integration, they only focus on producing some of the traditional food crops such as white maize and millet hence the farmers do not eat a healthy and nutritious diet because they lack food varieties due to limited farming plan.
The project will provide training on modern farming methods and techniques, to smallholder farmers, it provides farming business skills, it will provide frees vegetable selected seeds to ten farmers' groups, it will provide ten drip irrigation systems to ten farmers' groups at ten villages and it will provide training on nutrition and healthy eating. The farmers participating in this project will be taught to share their knowledge with their fellow farmers for the purpose of knowledge transfer.
The incubation center will train 2400 farmers annually resulting in increased production, increased level of income at individual farmer , improved nutrition habit as well as the good health of the farmers and their families with including children, women and elderly people. These will lead to improved economic status and good healthy to the individual farmers and the entire farming community.
