farmers training lewa

Lewa Conservancy recently hosted a farmer training session at the Munanda primary school where approximately 120 Munanda borehole water project participants learned about how to apply sustainable agricultural practices to their farming. The sessions covered a number of important eco-focused topics including drip irrigation, fodder establishment and preservation, crop protection, and marketing methods. Lewa’s goal is to help farmers integrate environmentally friendly and efficient farming techniques that benefit them, their community and surrounding environment. Lewa has been on a mission since 2012 to help farmers increase productivity and adapt to changing climate conditions, while also promoting sustainable land use and reducing negative environmental impacts. To date, this community-led conservation approach has led to the training of over 6,000 farmers, an essential element in creating lasting positive change for both people and wildlife.
