Improving Sanitation, Water quality and Agricultural productivity in the Upper Pangani Basin.
Goal: The ultimate aim of this project is to sustainably intensify banana-based farming systems in the target region, based on documented nutrient budgets, fine-tuned integrated soil fertility interventions, capitalizing on fundamental understanding of nutrient-water use efficiency interactions.
This will be achieved through training of NM-AIST students, carrying out their PhD research work within this context, in close cooperation with relevant stakeholders such as NGO’s (TRIAS, RECODA), Farmers Network in Arusha and Kilimanjaro Regions and public extension services.
