Event: ECHO East Africa Biennial Symposium 2023 Sustainable Agriculture Best Practices (21.02.2023)

Session: Climate change is severely affecting crop production in semi-arid area in Tanzania. However, yield potential is greater from using a tied ridged system in combination with manure, drought resilient maize intercropped with pigeon peas compared to yields from conventional, non- climate smart management technologies. A study reveals the potential of climate smart agricultural practices which include intercropping technologies, drought tolerant crops, tied ridges and manure. This agronomic package in crop production is proving to be a climate change adaptation strategy for many drought prone areas of Tanzania.
