KIROKA, TANZANIA - 13-11-01 - Standard 2 student Kassim Suleimani waters a teak tree 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. An 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.
