A farming community searching for innovative and successful practices
In Babati, I was able to see the location of Cultivate Global Tanzania’s office, and the new three acre training farm on the south end of town. The potential for the training farm is huge, with a farming community searching for innovative and successful practices. Understanding agriculture in Tanzania is difficult, because many of the current practices are hundreds of years behind that of the United States, and directly implementing American practices is not feasible. With this in mind, we spent time touring some of the most innovative and successful farming operations in and around Babati to get a picture of what successful local farmers have found to work in the region. I am excited for the future of the Babati training farm, especially when meeting with the operations board of Cultivate Global Tanzania to discuss future plans.
