Lost hope to farmers in Chemba, Kondoa Districts

[JanguKamaJangu]

Farmers in the villages of Chemba and Kondoa districts have lost hope of any corn harvest this year resulting from extreme hot weather which is drying their fields.

Aziza Hussein, an over 60-year-old woman is among those affected by the weather as her one-acre farm in Sambwa village has been completely dried.

Ms Aziza is one among many villagers without any hope of harvesting corn this year, just like farmers in her neighboring villages of Keikei, Potea, Mauno and Salare including Isini and Gwandi in Chemba districts.

For the past several years, Inades-Formation Tanzania has been imparting farmers with the knowledge on best farming practices in these districts villages on the best agronomics practices including intercropping, integrated farming, nine seeded holes and rainwater farming techniques among others.

The project officer, Agriculture with Inades-Formation Tanzania Mr. Michael Kihwele recently advised farmers in these villages to come up with alternatives sources of income for their survival in the villagers where apart from maize, farmers also grow millet and sorghum as their staple food.

He told farmers during his recent visit to assess the drought situation in the villages that should the rains come this March, farmers needed to start considering planting early maturity and drought resistant seeds, including having local sweet potato varieties.

“We also need to start looking at keeping chicken. This will help us to not entirely depend on farming,” he said.

Climate change impacts is affecting to the greater extent the majority rural women, because in Tanzania, just like many other African countries, women are more responsible with household chores of ensuring water and food availability and also fetching firewood for cooking.

Very Sad!

 

[Black Sniper]

Ni mda sasa kuwawekea maji ya umwagiliaji nao na sio bla bla za kisiasa

Mara limeni mazao yanayostahimili ukame
Sawa watafuga na kuku je mtawapa na wataalamu
Wanasiasa wanapenda kuongea Utumbo wakati wanajua fika maisha haya.

Kwanini wanashindwa kuwasidia?

 

[To yeye]

Hali ni mbaya kila sehemu.

Yeah,nilitaka niseme hivyo

Yule anayesifiwa kila kukicha huko nako afanye jambo haraka

Huu mwaka atajulikana nani fundi nani kibarua Mungu atusaidie.

Mkuu; Unadhani katika uhalisia wake hali halisi (under field conditions) hiyo sentensi ya kwanza inatekelezeka? Uwe mkweli hapo. Maeneo hayo ni semiarid lands. Maji hupatikana kwa shida tena ni kwa kuchimba visima virefu(Bore holes) meta 120+ (perpendicular depth)na visima vingi huendeshwa kwa umeme lakini vipo vingine ni kwa diesel engines. Mashamba ni makubwa e.g. mkulima mdogo ni ekari 1-5. Wakubwa ni hadi ekari 300. Utamwagiliaje mkuu ukizingatia gharama ya miundo mbinu stahiki e.g. mabomba na mitaro ya kusambazia, ujenzi wa matank ya kuhifadhia n.k. wakati huo ujue maji hayo-hayo yanahitajika kwa wanadamu na mifugo yao. Ni vigumu mno. Nani apewe kipaumbele - mashamba au binadamu?

Kama hali ni hiyo sina la kuongeza Mkuu, maana nyie ndio mnaojua ukweli.
Mimi nimeona malalamiko tu nikatia neno.

Wanahuzunisha sana ila ndio hivyo maana hata mifugo ni kazi sasa maana wanahitaji maji kila wakati.

Mnawasaidia namna gani watu kama hao?
