2ENGLISH VERSION

Thirty (30) Clusters sent their Cluster Leadersas representatives to the seminar held on16-20th October 2016 at Gitoro Conference

Centre.The seminar’s Conditions of satisfaction

(COSs) were; sharing each individual Clusterachievements, learning about developing BestPractices, learning how to establish raised seedbeds,preparing land for Conservation farming, learningmore about carbon business, understanding betterabout their roles and responsibilities as Clusterleaders, learning about doing forest plans, learningabout Kujengana, making friends and having fun. Theseminar participants further helped in planning forAll Clusters Meeting (ACM).

The seminar also discussed about the newpayment voucher. The new voucher now shows theamount of carbon sequestered by the Small Groupas well as Verified carbon. Sequeretered carbon isthe amount of carbon obtained after thequantification while verified carbon is the ‘saleable”carbon obtained after the validation and verification.Its only verified carbon that can be sold and earncarbon revenue. Therefore, Small Groups areadvised to study their voucher when they receiveit.

Seminar participants were concerned why allSmall Groups carbon is not Verified carbon andtherefore not saleable carbon. In response, theseminar realized that in some cases, quantificationhas been done poorly and therefore some of thegroves not qualifying for validation and verification.In other cases, some of the groves are new and are

yet to be included for Validation and verification.Poor quantification has not only affected the

qualification of groves for validation and verificationbut also in generating of payments vouchers. In thepast several months, TIST management has beentrying to run vouchers, but every time, some errorscrop up. Such errors include over-payments orunder-payments of Small Groups. In this case,payments are not accurate and honest. As such, itwas agreed that the Small Group receives paymentsin a easy to understand and transparent manner.This entails, paying Small Groups for one calendaryear, using data from recent quantification (last 18months).

TIST Farmers understand the tree paymentmoney they receive today is an advance / pre-payment for carbon. These pre-payments amountswill eventually be deducted to their profit share ofcarbon revenue. Therefore, the more advance theyreceive , the more deductions will done. If forinstance, they haven’t received any pre-payment,nothing will be deducted.

Seminar participants were encouraged todiscuss various ideas to help strengthen their ownClusters and Small Groups. The seminar involvedparticipants working together in small groups,discussing various ideas and coming up with bestideas that they can implement when they go backto their Clusters. Moreover, there were practicaldemonstrations of raised seedbed andConservation Farming. Participants also receivedtraining materials which they discussed andunderstood better so that they can train farmers intheir Clusters .

TIST Seminar: “Creating Strong Clusters”

We, Ndalani TIST Cluster, in MachakosCounty, are happy to share with otherTIST Clusters, our progress so far.

Today, we have 49 Small Groups, 22 out of thosehave been baselined and quantified with 12,916trees.

Through support of our new trainedCluster Servant, Naomi Kamau, our Cluster hasheld elections. We are impressed with Cluster BestPractices of rotational and servant leadership whichwe have embraced fully both in our Small Groupsand Cluster meetings.

We are glad to have received training onraised seedbeds. Today, such Small Groups asNgwatanio (2016KE44) have already started their

own raised seedbed. Many other Small Groups arelearning from Ngwataniro group and preparing tostart their own.

Through cluster meetings , we have able toshare important ideas that are helping us to copeup with challenges faced due to the experienceddry spells such as burning of residue under mangotrees to smoke off beatles and other insect thatinvade the fruit tree during flowering.

We have also started taking care of naturalygrowing trees mostly acacia instead of clearing fornew planting. This help Small Group members growmore trees, most newly planted trees dries up dueto harsh climatic conditions. We are also plantingfruit trees such as mango trees.

TIST Kenya received visitors from Taylors,Natural Capital Partners and KTDAFoundation. They included, Simon Hotchkin

, Head of Sustainable Development Taylors; IanBrabbin , Head of Tea Taylors; Kevin Sinfield , Headof Brand Marketing Taylors; Simon Brown, NaturalCapital Partners and Mr. Ndiga from KTDAFoundation. Their trip involved visits to TIST farms,talking to participants in a Cluster Leaders seminar,meeting management in selected Tea Factories.

During the Cluster Leaders Seminar, theywere introduced to seminar participants by BenHenneke, TIST Trainer and CAAC Presidenttogether with Vannesa Henneke

Simon Brown and Inder (not in the seminar)visited Ndalani Cluster, and meet TIST farmers inMakomboki, Imenti and Kionyo area. Simon says,“Everywhere we went yesterday, we found farmerswho are passionate about the work they are doing.In Ndalani Cluster particularly, we meet farmers ina Cluster meeting, where they shared with us theirplan of planting thousands of trees, and what thetrees means to them in terms of improving theirlivelihoods, income, health and income.” They alsovisited Makomboki, where they met farmer doinggrafted avocados, planting trees in riparian areas,doing raised seed beds.

In Imenti, they visited Imenti Tea Factory, andlater visited Joshua Farm, a TIST farmer. Joshua andhis family have done very dedicated tree grove andhas put close to 50 beehives, therefore earningadditional income from honey.

Kevin, who was on his first trip in Africa, wasparticularly impressed with fantastic work TISTfarmers are doing to plant trees and therebyproviding better environment for tea and coffee. “ Iwill definitely talk to other people about your greatwork in TIST when I go back to my country,” Kevinconcludes.

Mr. Ndiga of KTDA welcomed TIST leaders towork with the foundation in learning about treenursery preparation, tree grafting skills, and inhelping other farmers plant many more trees.

Simon Hotchkin told the seminar how he was first

impressed by TIST when he made a visit in February2014. He says, “That visit inspired Taylors to partnerand work with TIST to bring trees to teacommunities so that they can improve theirlivelihood, income, soil fertility, water retentionamong other benefits”. “I am impressed by yourvery good work and I look forward to a longworking relationship with TIST, ” he adds.

Ian, who is a Tea Taster for Talyor Tea alsosaid he is impressed with fantastic job done by TISTfarmers.

Seminar participants got an opportunity toask the visitors some questions. Among thequestions asked is request for seedlings or seeds,knowledge about grafting , and extension to buytea from more factories. On the question ofseedlings and seeds support, Simon Brown told theparticipants that the most successful tree farms hehas visited is where the farmer does his tree nurseryby himself, deciding on local tree species to plant,and give such a farmer a sense of ownership. Headded, “ tree grafting requires some specialisedskills. Its important such skills be shared to SmallGroups, perhaps through the collaboration withKTDA foundation.” He concludes withencouraging farmers that getting free seeds orseedlings is an option by not always the best.“Easiest things are not always the best.”

Later on, after greeting the seminar, theyvisited Kionyo area. Accompanied by TISTservants; Jeniffer, Kimani and Patricia, theyvisited TIST farms and Kionyo Tea Factory.Among the farms they saw include GeorgeNkonge and Patrick Murethi farms. MrNkonge welcomed them and showedtwo(2)raised seedbeds comprised differentspecies of trees. Also, Nkonge showed themhis Conservation Farming plot. At Patrickfarm, they saw a raised seedbed with mixedspecies.

4ENGLISH VERSION

An important topic for sustainable agriculture isagroforestry.

Definition: Growing trees and shrubs togetherwith agricultural crops or livestock.

The overall aim of agroforestry is to increase theproductivity of the land through the use of trees.Trees have many benefits for the farmer:• Building material• Fuel wood• Fruits and other food• Fodder• Soil stabilization• Soil fertility• Moisture retention• Wind shelter• Marking of boundaries• Medicine• Cash income• Reduced erosion (if a layer of litter/mulch is kept)

Agroforestry practices: There are manydifferent techniques and new methods are beingdiscovered all the time. Some techniques aresuccessful in one place and a disaster in others.People need to try different techniques and sharethe best practices in the training meetings. Thefollowing are some common methods of agro-forestry:

1. Hedges: This involves selecting a tree specieswhich can be placed in a line and which havebenefits for the land. Hedges require little space,control erosion, and can produce leaves for fodderor mulch. An example of hedging is to plant a rowof trees around the field boundary.Recommended spacing is around 1.5 - 2m. The bestdesign includes a mixture of tall and short trees.e.g. Croton megalocarpus planted with Euphorbiatirucalli and/or Lantana camara.

2. Alley cropping: This involves establishing treesat very narrow spacing (0.5-2m) in rows alongfields. There may be a tree row, then two or threerows of crops, then another tree row, then cropsetc. An example of this is planting alternating rowsof maize with leucaena, or coffee and bananas.The most suitable trees are leguminous ones (onesthat fix nitrogen for the soil). Spacing between rowsof trees should not be more than 5-8m. The treerows need to be weeded and pruned regularly. Thetrees cannot grow too tall otherwise they willcompete with the crops for soil nutrients and light.The pruned leaves can be added to the soil toimprove the soil fertility. So these trees will not besuitable for TIST payments, as they have to be keptshort, but they will improve the agricultural landand provide many other benefits to the farmer.Some good alley cropping trees have the ability tore-grow after they have been cut. This means theycan be cut every crop season so that they do notgrow too big and compete too much with the crops.This practice is called coppicing, and only workswith some species. Some commonly coppicedspecies are Calliandra calothyrsus, Cassia siamea,Cassia spectabilis, Eucalyptus spp., Leucaenaleucocephala, Markhamia lutea. Some species coppicewell when they are young but may not coppicewhen they are mature e.g. Casuarina spp., Grevillearobusta, Sesbania sesban and someAlbizia spp.

Sustainable Agriculture: Agroforestry.

5ENGLISH VERSION

Have any farmers used this method of plantingtrees and crops together? If so, what were suitablecombinations? Ask them to share their experiencesand bring the information to the next training session.

Maybe farmers could try just a few rows oftrees in their fields. Then they can see the results.If the results are good the number of tree rowscan be increased next season.

3. Windbreak: Planting wide strips of trees toprovide a windbreak. This then protects crops fromthe oncoming wind. Plant large trees in the center,smaller trees for the next two rows and low shrubs,bushes and grasses on the outside. Plant at rightangles to the prevailing wind. Spacing within thelines of trees can be 4-5 m with 2-4 m betweenthe lines.

The advantage of windbreaks is that the farmerdoes not have to sacrifice an entire plot of land fortrees. It only takes a strip of land, and the benefitscan improve yields by 30% in some areas. Notethat poorly planned windbreaks can damage cropsmore because it can channel the wind through gaps.Find someone experienced in this to help youdesign your windbreak.

4. Fallow cropping: This is where farmers stopgrowing crops on a piece of land and let trees takeover to help restore soil fertility. Mostly nitrogen-fixing shrubs are chosen e.g. Sesbania spp. andGliricidia sepium.

5. Inter-cropping: This involves wide and evenspacing of trees among food crops. Good trees arethose that have light canopies and fix nitrogen. Moreon this in the next unit.

6. Grazing area improvement: Managing treeson grazing land to provide wood and fodder. Forexample, in arid and semi-arid lands, consider Acaciatortilis or some of the following: Salvadora persica,Cordia sinensis, Acacia eliator, Ziziphus mauritiana,Acacia albida, Acacia nubica, Acacia Senegal, Hyphaenecompressa.In higher potential areas, depending on the altitude,consider Leucaena leucocephala, Sesbania sesban,Calliandra calothyrsus and Leucaena diversifolia.Consider supplementary feeding using leaves(15-20% of the feed) during the dry season foryour animals.

7. Woodlots: Small woodlots can be grown onunused or unproductive land, e.g. woodlots plantedon stony outcrops or in gullies. Woodlots can alsobe planted on cropland to serve as a windbreak, orthey can be planted on fallow land.

8. Marking boundaries e.g. Croton megalocarpusand Commiphora zimmermannii subsp.

Trainers, note that TIST trees have to be correctlyspaced in order to grow fully and remain in theground long-term. Some of the above agro-forestrymethods are best practices for agriculture, but maynot qualify for TIST tree payments.

6ENGLISH VERSION

Other ideas to consider for certainecological zones in Kenya.

Higher altitude slopes with acidic soils (e.g. areaswhere tea grows well)

Consider Calliandra calothyrsus and Morus alba forfodder production.

Consider boundary planting and windbreaks withCroton megalocarpus, Grevillea robusta, Casuarinacunninghamiana, Millettia dura, Hakea saligna.

Consider orchards for temperate fruits (e.g. plums,peaches, pears).

Lower altitude slopes (e.g. where coffee grows well)Consider Jacaranda mimosifolia for boundaryplanting.

Consider Syzygium spp. for windbreaks and plantingalong water courses.

Consider fruit trees such as Cyphomandra betacea(tree tomato), Persea amer icana(avocado),Macadamia tetraphylla (macadamia), Passiflora edulis(passion fruit), Casimiroa.

Edulis (white sapota), Annona senegalensis (custardapple), Psidium guajava (guava), Eriobotrya japonica(loquat).

Calliandra, Morus alba, Grevillea and Markhamialutea are good options for planting on areas youwant to control for soil erosion (soil conservationstructures).

Grevillea is a good shade tree for coffee.

High altitude plains, with gentle sloping landand scarce numbers of trees:

Consider windbreaks to protect crops, boundaryplanting and live fences e.g. Acacia mearnsii, Grevillearobusta, Hakea saligna, Croton macrostachyus,Dombeya spp., Dodonaea angustifolia, Casuarinacunningharniana, and Dovyalis caffra. Sometemperate fruit trees may do well.

Rift valley maize and dairy system.Since maize does not do well in shade, considersmall woodlots or windbreaks, or trees planted onsoil conservation structures e.g. Grevil lea

robusta,Sesbania spp., Croton macrostachyus, Crotonmegalocarpus, Acacia abyssinica, Eucalyptus spp., Acaciamearnsii, Casuarina cunninghamiana, Dovyalis caffra,Markhamia lutea, Cordia abyssinica.

ReminderDo remember that whilst planting trees brings manybenefits you need to research the best types foryour specific land type. Remember that treescompete with crops for water, and some crops donot like a lot of shade, for example. Get informationfrom your nearby small groups and yourextension workers.

- Particularly get advice on suitable trees withdeep roots and fewer surface roots (thesetrees are beneficial in agroforestry sincesurface roots compete with crops). Casuarinaspp., Leucaena leucocephala, Cupressuslusitanica, and Sesbania sesbanhave shalloe rootsystems and may be better for stabilising soilon conservation areas. Eucalyptus spp. andGmelina arborea can produce compoundswhich inhibit crop growth.

- Intercropping may not work very well in areasreceiving less than 800mm rainfall annually.

Oktoba kwenye jumba la mikutano la GitoroHali ya kutimiza (COSs) zilikuwa: Kushiriki

mafanikio ya kila moja ya Cluster, kujifunza juu yakukuza njia bora za ukulima, kujifunza namna yakuunda minanda iliyoinuliwa,kutengeneza shambakwa kilimo hifadhi,kujifunza zaidi kuhusu biasharaya caboni na kuelewa zaidi juu ya jukumu yao kamaviongozi wa Cluster zao, kujifunza kuhusu kuundamipango ya misitu, kujifunza kuhusu kejengana nakufanya marafiki na kuwa na furaha. Walioshirikikwenye semina hiyo watasaidia zaidi kupangamkutano wa Cluster zote (ACM)

Semina pia iliongea juu ya malipo mapya yavocha. Vocha mpya sasa inaonyesha kipimo chacaboni iliyotengwa na vikundi vidogo na vile vilekudhibitishwa. Caboni iliyotengwa ni kipimo kilichopatikana nyuma ya kupimwa wakati ambapo caboniiliyodhibitishwa ni ile ambayo inaweza kuuzwaambayo inatoka nyuma ya kudhibitishwa nakupimwa. Caboni iliyopimwa ndio inauzwa ilikupata mapato ya caboni.kwa hivyo, vikundi vidogovinashauliwa kusoma vocha zao wakati watakapozipokea.

Washirika wa semina walikuwa na wasi wasikwa nini caboni ya vikundi vidogo haijadhibitishwana kwa hivyo ni caboni ambayo haiwezi kuuzwa.Kwa kujibiwa , semina iligundua kwamba baadhi yamatukio haya kudhibitishwa kumefanywa kwa njiambaya ma kwa hivyo baadhi ya mashamba hayapitikudhibitishwa na kuhesabiwa. Baadhi ya matukiomengine ni kwamba, mashamba mengine ni mapyana bado hayajajumuishwa kwa udhibitishaji na

kuhesabiwaUdhibitisho uliofanywa vibaya haujaadhiri tu

kufuzu kwa mashamba kwa kuhesabiwa nakudhibitishwa ila pia njia ya kutoa malipo ya vocha.Miezi kadhaa iliyopita, usimamizi waTIST umekuaukijaribu kutoa vocha lakini kila wakati makosafulani utokea. Makosa haya yanajumuisha malipo yazaidi ama malipo ya chini kwa vikundi vidogo.kwatukio hili, malipo yanyofanywa si uhakika nauaminifu. Na hivyo, kulikubaliwa vikundi vidogokupokea malipo yao kwa njia iliyo rahisi kuelewana iliyo wazi. Hii inajumuishavikundi vidogo kwamuda wa mwaka mmoja kwa kutumia data kutokakwa udhibitisho uliofanywa hivi maajuzi (miezi 18iliyopita)

Wakulima wa TIST wanaelewa ya kwambamalipo ya miti yalipokelewa leo ni ya mbele amamalipo ya kabla ya Caboni. Malipo haya ya kablayatatolewa kwa faida yao ya mapato yao ya mauzoya caboni. Kwa hivyo, vile malipo ya kablayanavyofanywa kwa wingi ndiyo yatakayo tolewakwa mapato. Kwa mfanokama hakuna malipo yakabla yamefanywa, hakuna mapato yatakayotolewa.Washiriki wa semina walitiwa moyo kujadili njiambali mbali za kusaidia kuimarisha Cluster zao navikundi vyao vidogo. Semina ilihusisha washirikikufanya kazi pamoja kwa vikundi vidogo kujadilimawazo mbali mbali na kutoa mawazo memayanayoweza kutekelezwa wakirudi kwa Clusterzao. Zaidi ya hayo, kulikuwa na maonyesho yavitendo ya minanda iliyoinuliwa na kilimo hifadhi.Washiriki walipokea vifaa vya mafunzoambavyowalijadiliana na kuelewa zaidi ili wawezekufunza wakulima kwa Cluster zao.

Sisi, Cluster ya Ndalani Kaunti ya Machakos, tunafuraha kushiriki na Cluster zingine za TISThatua tulizopiga mbele kimaendeleo hadi sasa.

Leo tuko na vikundi vidogo arobaini na tisa(49)Ishirini na viwili(22) ya vikundi hivi, vimekaguliwamiti elfu kumi na nbili, mia tisa na kumi na tisa.(12,916)

Kupitia kwa msaada wa mtumishi wetualiyehitimu hivi karibuni, Naomi Kamau, Clusteryetu imefanya uchaguzi. Tumefurahishwa na njia boraza uongozi wa mzunguko na uongozi wa utumishiambao umetuvutia sana kwa vikundi vyetu vidogona mikutano ya Cluster.

Tumeshukuru tumepokea mafunzo kuhusuminanda iliyo inuliwa. Leo, vikundi hivi vidogo kamahivi Ngwatanio (2016KE44) vimeanza kuunda

minanda yao imeinuliwa . Vikundi vinginevinajifunza kutoka kwa kikundi cha ngwataniro nakuaanza kuunda minanda yao wenyewe.

Kupitia mikutano ya Cluster. Tumewezakushiriki mawazo muhimu yanayotusaidiakupambana na changa moto zinazotukumbakufuatia ukame kama kuchoma mabaki chini ya mitiya maembe kuzuia wadudu wanaovamia miti hiiwakati wa kutoa maua.

Vile vile tumeanza kuchunga miti inayokuayenyewe kama Acacia badala ya kungoa na kupandaingine. Hii imesaidia wanachama wa vikundi vidogokukuza miti mingi zaidi, miti iliyo pandwa upyainakauka kwa sababu ya ukame. Pia tunapanda mitiya matunda kama ya maembe.

TIST Kenya ilipokea wageni kutoka Taylors,Natural Capital Partners and KTDAFoundation. Wanajumuisha Simon Hotchkin,

Mkuu wa Sustainable Development Taylors, IanBrabbin, mkuu wa majani chai Taylors,Kevin Sinfield,Mkuu wa Soko Taylors, Simon Brown, NaturalCapital Partners na Mr. Ndiga kutoka KTDAFoundation. Safari yao ilihusisha kutembeleamashamba ya TIST, kuongea na wasimamizi waCluster, kukutana na wasimamizi wa viwanda vyamajani vilivyochaguliwa.

Wakati wa semina hii ya wakuu wa Cluster,walijulishwa kwa washiriki wa semina na BenHenneke, mkufunzi wa TIST na Rais wa CAACpamoja na Vannesa Henneke.

Simon Brown na Inder (Hawakua kwenyesemina) walitembelea Cluster ya Ndalani nakukutana na wakulima wa TIST wa Makomboki,Imenti na Kionyo. Simon asema “kila mahalitilipotembea jana, tulipata wakulima wenye hamuya kazi wanayoifanya. Kwenye Cluster ya Ndalanihasa, tulikuta wakulima wakiwa kwa mkutano waCluster, ambapo walishiriki na sisi mpango wao wakupanda maelfu ya miti, na vile hii miti imekuwa namanufaa kwao kwa njia ya kuboresha maishayao,riziki, mapato na afya yao” vile vile waliwatembelea Makomboki ambapo walikutamkulima nayefanya avocado ya kupandikizwa nakupanda miti na kutengeza minanda iliyoinuliwa.

Imenti, walitembelea kiwanda cha Majani chaImenti na baadaye wakatembelea shamba la Joshua,mkulima wa TIST. Joshua na familia yakewametengeneza shamba ashera ya miti ambayo ikona mizinga ya nyuki zaidi ya hamsini(50) ambapowanapata mapato kutokana na asali.

Kevin, ambaye alikuwa Afrika kwa mara yakeya kwanza, haswa alifurahishwa na kazi muruainayofanywa na wakulima wa TIST ya kupanda mitihivi kwamba kutoa mazingira bora kwa upanzi wakahawa na majani chai. “Nitaeleza watu juu ya kazinzuri mnayofanya hapa TIST nikirundi kwetu”Kevinalimalizia kusema.

Bwana Ndiga of KTDA alikaribisha viongozikufanya kazi na mpango kwa kuelewa kuundaminanda ya miti,miti ya kupandikizwa na kusaidiawakulima wengine kupanda miti mingi zaidi.

Simon Hotchin aliambia washiriki was Semina

vile alifurahishwa na TIST wakati alipotembeamwezi wa Februari 2014. Alisema “safari hiyoilisisimua Taylors kushiriakana na kufanya kazipamoja na TIST kuleta miti kwa jamii ili kuboreshariziki yao, mapato na rotuba kwa mchanga nakuongeza kiwango cha maji kwa mchanga pamojana manufaa mengine” “nimefurahishwa na kazi yenunzuri na nataraji kuwa na muda mrefu wa kufanyakazi na TIST” aliongeza

Ian ambaye ni mtaalam wa chai Taylors piaalisema amefurahishwa na kazi nzuri inayofanywana wakulima wa TIST.

Washiriki wa semina walipata nafasi ya kuulizamaswali. Baadhi ya maswali yaliyo ulizwa ni kuombakepewa mbegu, ujizi waupandikizaji na upanuzi wakununuliwa kwa majani chai kutoka kwa viwandavingi zaidi. Kwa swali la kupewa mbegu,Simonalisema ya kwamba mashamba yenye mafanikio niyale mkulima mwenyewe ameunda mnanda yeyemwenyewe ambapo anaamua kama ni miti yakienyeji atakayopanda. Hiyo inampa mkulimaumiliki” Aliongeza “miti ya kupandikizwa inahitajiujuzi maalum. Ni muhimu kwa ujuzi huu kushirikikwa vikundi vidogo na labda kufanywa hivyo kupitiaushirikiano wa Foundation ya KTDA” Alimaliza kwakutia wakulima moyo kwa kuwaambia ya kwambambegu za bure ni njia moja lakini si nzuri kila wakati.“Vitu rahisi si vizuri kila wakati”

Baadaye baada ya kusalimia washiriki waSeminar, walitembelea eneo la Kionyo.Wakiandamana na Mfanyi kazi wa TISTJeniffer, Kimani na Patricia, walitembeleamashamba ya TIST and Kiwanda cha majanichai cha Kionyo. Mashamba yaliyotembelewani pamoja na shamba la George Nkonge nadPatrick Mureithi. Bwana Nkongealiwakaribisha na kuwaonyesha minandamiwili (2) iliyoinuliwa ambayo imepandwamiti aina mbali mbali. Pia Nkongealiwaonyesha shamba lake la kilimo hifadhi.Kwa shamba la Patrick waliona mnandaulioinuliwa yenye miti mbali mbali.

Kilimo Endelevu: Kilimo Mseto.

Mada muhimu kwa kilimo endelevu ni Kilimomseto.

Ufafanuzi: Kupanda miti na vichaka pamoja namimea ya chakula au mifugo.

Lengo la kijumla la klimo mseto ni kuongezauzalishaji wa ardhi kupitia matumizi ya miti. Mitiina faida nyingi kwa mkulima:• Vitu vya ujenzi• Kuni• Matunda na chakula kinginecho• Chakula cha mifugo• Kutuliza udongo• Rutuba ya udongo• Kuweka unyevu• Wind shelter• Kiashiria cha mipaka• Dawa• Mapato ya kifedha• Kupungua kwa mmomonyoko wa udongo

(iwapo safu ya taka au mimea itatandazwa)

Mitindo katika kilimo mseto:Kuna mbinu mbalimbali na zingine mpyazinazogunduliwa kila wakati. Baadhi ya mbinuhufanikiwa mahali pamoja na kuwa na maafakwingine. Watu wanahitajika kujaribu mbnumbalimbali na kugawana mitindo iliyo bora zaidikatika mikutano ya mafunzo. Zifuatazo ni baadhi yambinu zinazotumika sana sana katika kilimo mseto:

1. Nyua: Hili huhusisha kuchagua aina ya mtiutakaopandwa kwa mstari na ambao una faida kwaardhi. Nyua huhitaji nafasi ndogo, huzuiammomonyoko wa udongo na hutengeneza majanikwa ajili ya chakula cha mifugo na matandazo. Mfanowa kutengeza ua ni kupanda miti kwa mstariikizunguka mpaka wa shamba.Nafasi kati ya miti inayopendekezwa ni kati ya mitamoja na nusu na mita mbili. Njia bora zaidi nikuchanganya miti mirefu na mifupi.Kwa mfano Croton megalocarpus wawezwa pandwapamoja na Euphorbia tirucalli pamoja na /au Lantanacamara.

2. Kilimo mseto kwa mistari: Hili huhusishakupanda miti iliyo na nafasi ndogo sana (nusu mitakufika mita mbili) iliyopandwa kwa mistari shambalilivyo. Kwaweza kuwa na mstari wa miti halafumistari miwili au mitatu ya mimea, halafu mstarimwingine wa miti, halafu mimea, na kadhalika.Mfano wa hili ni kupanda mistari ya mahindiiliyoandana nay a Leucaena au kahawa na ndizi. Mitiiliyo bora zaidi ni ile ya familia ya kunde ( inayowekanaitrojeni udongoni). Nafasi kati ya mistari ya mitiyafaa kuwa mita tano kufika nane. Mistari hiyo yamiti yafaa kupaliliwa na kupunguzwa majani marakwa mara. Miti hiyo isiwe mirefu au itaanza kupiganana mimea ili kupata virutubisho na mwangaza.Majani yaliyokatwa yaweza kuongezwa kwaudongo ili kuongeza rutuba ya udongo. Kwa hivyomiti hii haitaweza kupata malipo ya TIST, kwaniinafaa kuwekwa ikiwa mifupi, lakini itaboresha ardhikwa kilimo na kumpa mkulima faida zingine nyingi.Baadhi ya mimea mizuri ya kupanda pamoja namimea huweza kukua tena inapokatwa. Kumaanishainaweza kukatwa kila msimu wa mimea ili isiwemikubwa sana isije ikapigana sana na mimea. Mtindohuu unaitwa ‘copicing’ na hufanikiwa kwa baadhiya mimea. Aina za miti hii ni Calliandra calothyrsus,Cassia siamea, Cassia spectabilis, Eucalyptus spp.,Leucaena leucocephala, Markhamia lutea. Baadhi yamiti humea tena vizuri inapokuwa change lakinihaimei tena inapokomaa kwa mfano Casuarina spp.,Grevillea robusta, Sesbania sesban na baadhi yaAlbizia spp.

Je, wakulima wametumia jinsi hii ya kupandamiti na kulima? Kama ndivyo ni njia gani mwafakaya kuchanganya? Wauleze wajandiliene na wakujena majibu kwenye mkutano ujao.

Pengine wakulima wanaweze jaribu mistarikadhaa kwenye mashamba zao. Wangalie majibu.Kama majibu iko sawa waongeze mistari minginemusimu ujao

3. Kizuia upepo: Kupanda miti iliyofuatana ilikutengeneza kizuia upepo. Miti hii hulinda mimeakutokana na upepo unaokuja. Panda miti mikubwakati kati, midogo zaidi mistari miwili inayofuata namiti mifupi, vichaka na nyasi nje. Panda ikiwa dhidiya upepo unaokuja. Nafasi kati ya miti iwe mitanne au tano na mbili kufika nne kati ya mistari.

Faida ya vizuia upepo ni kuwa mkulima si lazimahatoe shamba lote ili kupanda miti. Inachukuakipande cha ardhi na faida zaweza ongeza mazaokwa asilimia thelathini katika baadhi ya maeneo.Kumbuka kuwa vizuia upepo visivyopangiwa vizurivyaweza kuharibu mimea kwani vinaweza kupitishaupepokupitia nafasi. Tafuta mtu aliye na ujuzikukusaidia kupangia kizuia upepo.

4. Kupumzisha ardhi:Hapa ni ambapo wakulima huacha kupanda mimeakwa kipande cha ardhi na kuiacha miti kumea ilikusaidia kurejesha rutuba ya udongo. Ni miti mifupiinayoweka naitrojini udongoni inayochaguliwa maranyingi kwa mfano Sesbania spp. na Gliricidia sepium.

5. Kuchanganya mimea na miti: Hili huhusishakupanda miti yenye nafasi kubwa kati kati ya mimea.Miti mizuri ni isiyo na matawi mengi na inayowekanaitrojeni udongoni.

6. Kuboresha pahali pa kulisha mifugo:kuchunga miti iliyo katika ardhi ya kulisha mifugoili kukupa kuni na chakula cha mifugo. Kwa mfano,katika maeneo kame fikiria kupanda Acacia tortilisama baadhi ya miti ifuatayo: Salvadora persica, Cordiasinensis, Acacia eliator, Ziziphus mauritiana, Acaciaalbida, Acacia nubica, Acacia Senegal, Hyphaenecompressa.Katika maeneo mazuri zaidi, kulingana na urefu juuya ziwa, panda Leucaena leucocephala, Sesbaniasesban, Calliandra calothyrsus na Leucaena diversifolia.Fikiria kuhusu malisho ya nyongeza kutumia majani(asili mia kumi na tano kufika ishirini ya malisho)wakati wa ukame ya mifugo wako.

7. Misitu midogo wa miti:Miti mifupi yaweza kupandwa katika maeneoyasiyotumika au yasiyozalisha, kwa mfano mitiilipondwa katika eneo lenye mawe yaliyojitokezajuu na katika mitaro. Miti mifupi pia yawezakupandwa katika ardhi yenye mimea kufanya kaziya kizuia upepo, ama yaweza kupandwa katika ardhiiliyopumzishwa.

8. Kuashiria mipaka e.g. Croton megalocarpus naCommiphora zimmermannii subsp.

Wanaofunza, jua kuwa miti ya TIST inapewa nafasinzuri ili ikue inavyofaa na ikae ardhini kwa mudamrefu. Baadhi ya mbinu za kilimo mseto zilizo hapojuu ni mitindo bora zaid ya kilimo lakini mitihaitaweza kupata malipo ya TIST.

Fikira zingine za kujaribu katika baadhi yamaeneo ya kiasiri Kenya.

Miteremko iliyo katika maeneo ya urefu mkubwayenye udongo wenye acidi (kwa mfano ambapomajani chai hukua vizuri).

Fikiria kupanda Calliandra calothyrsus na Morusalba kupata chakula cha mifugo.

Kupanda mipaka na vizuia upepo fikiria miti kamaCroton megalocarpus, Grevillea robusta,

Casuarina cunninghamiana, Millettia dura, Hakeasaligna.

Kwa matunda fikiria miti ya bustani (kama plums,peaches, pears).

Miteremko iliyo maeneo yenye urefu mdogo (kwamfano ambapo kahawa hukua vizuri)

Fikiria kupanda Jacaranda mimosifolia kama mti wakutengeza mipaka

Unweza panda Syzygium spp. Ili kuzuia upepo aukando ya mikondo ya maji.

Fikiria kupanda miti ya matunda kamaCyphomandra betacea (tree tomato), Perseaamericana(avocado), Macadamia tetraphylla(macadamia), Passiflora edulis (passion fruit),Casimiroa edulis (white sapota), Annonasenegalensis (custard apple), Psidium guajava(guava), Eriobotrya japonica (loquat).

Calliandra, Morus alba, Grevillea na Markhamialutea ni miti mizuri ya kupanda katika maeneounayotaka kudhibiti mmomonyoko wa udongo(miundo ya kuhifadhi udongo).

Grevillea ni mti mzuri wa kuipa mimea ya kahawakivuli

Maeneo tambarare yaliyo na urefu mkubwa,yenye ardhi iliyo na mteremko mdogo na mitimichache:Kama vizuia upepo ili kulinda mimea yako, miti yamipaka na nyua zilizo hai fikiria miti kama Acaciamearnsii, Grevillea robusta, Hakea saligna, Crotonmacrostachyus, Dombeya spp., Dodonaeaangustifolia, Casuarina cunningharniana, andDovyalis caffra. Baadhi ya miti ya matunda inayokuamahali penye joto la kawaida yaweza kukua vizuri.Mfumo wa mahindi na maziwa katika bonde la ufaKwa sababu miti haikui vizuri chini ya kivuli, fikiriamiti mifupi ama vizuia upepo au miti inayopandwa

katika mifumo ya kuhifadhi udongo kwa mfanoGrevillea robusta,Sesbania spp., Crotonmacrostachyus, Croton megalocarpus, Acaciaabyssinica, Eucalyptus spp., Acacia mearnsii,Casuarina cunninghamiana, Dovyalis caffra,Markhamia lutea, Cordia abyssinica.

KumbukaKumbuka kuwa ingawa kupanda miti huleta faidanyingi unahitajika kutafiti kuhusu aina bora zaidikwa aina maalum ya ardhi yako. Kumbuka kuwa mitihushindana na mimea kupata maji na mimea minginehaipendi kivuli kingi, kwa mfano. Pata taarifakutokana na vikundi vidogo vilivyo karibu nawe nawafanyikazi katika sekta ya kilimo.

- Pata ushauri sana sana kuhusu aina ya mitiinayofaa iliyo na mizizi inayofika chini zaidi nayenye mizizi ya juu michache ( miti hii ina faidakatika kilimo mseto kwa sababu mizizi ya juuhushindana na mimea). Mizizi ya Casuarina spp.,Leucaena leucocephala, Cupressus lusitanica,na Sesbania sesbanhave shalloe yaweza kuwabora kwani inatuliza udongo katika maeneoyanayohifadhiwa. Eucalyptus spp. na Gmelinaarborea hutengeneza misombo inayozuiamimea kukua.

- Kupanda mimea pamoja na miti haifanikiwi sanasana katika maeneo yanayopata mvua isiyozidimilimita mia nane kila mwaka.

Uimi kana ndilikasa ya kuendeea.

Nima ya miti la liu Kilungu kya vata kya uimi nandilikasa ni nima ya liu na miti.

Ualyulo: Kuvanda miti, ikuthu vamwe na liu kanamimea na kana ndithya ya indo Mwolooto wa nimaya miti na liu yithiawa na mwelekelo umwe ula nikwongela w’umi wa kitheka kwa nzia ya kutumiamiti.Miti yithiawa ya vaita mwingi kwa muimi ta:-- Miti ya kwaka- Ngu- Matunda na liu- Uithyo / Wovo- Kulumya mbithanga- Kwongela muthanga unou- Kwikalya kimeu- Kusiia kiseve- Kwikia muvaka- Ndawa- Kuete mbesa- Kuola kukuwa kwa muthanga.

Nzia sya uvandi na uimi wa miti na liu; Kwinzia mbingi ila iatiawa na kwi ona ingi nzau. Nziaimwe ni nzeo kwa isio imwe na nithuku kwa isioingi. Andu nimendaa kutata nzia kwiana na kisiokila mai na kuete ona nzia ingi nzau na kwonanisyiva syaile kisio kyoo, ingi nimaile kwonasya alaangi yila mena mbumbano undu wa nzia ithi. Vaa venzia imwe ila itumiawa kaingi nthini wa nima ino:-

1. Wiio: Nzia ino yendaa ukamba usakua muthembawa miti ula wavandwa lainini wikaa nesa na unengaemuthanga vaita. Wiio wendaa kisio kinini, nusiiaamuthanga kukuwa, niwumasya matu ma liu wa indona kuvwika muthanga. Ngelekany’o ni kuvanda mitiithyululukitwe kiwanza ta muvaka. Miti ino niyaileuvandwa na utaaniu wa1.5 - 2m. Kingi wiio withiawamuseo yila wavanda miti miasa na mikuvi ivulenengelekany’o Mithulu na ndau kana mutavisi.

2. Kuvanda mitauni:- Nzia no yendaa kuvandakwa misitali ithengeanie tanyusu itambya kuvikamatambya eli. No uvande mutau wa miti, mitau ilikana itatu ya liu ngelekany’o mutau wa mbembamutau wa lusina kana maiu na kaawa. Miti ila miseoya uvandaniw’a na liu ni ila inengae muthanga nzeveya nitrogen. Utaaniu wa miti waile matmbya 5 - 8(m).Utaaniu niwaile kwika uyiimwa na iisewa nikanandikasindane na liu undu wa unou na kyeni. Matuala masewa no mavulanwe namuthanaga kuete unoukana makanengwa indo ta liu. Kwoou miti ino nunduniseawa ndikaasave muno ndithiawa yaile kwonduwa nima ya ndivi nthini wa TIST onakau nimiseuniseuvasya mawithyululuko undu wa nima nzeo nakwithiwa yi ya vaita kwa muimi. Miti imwe ila ivandamitauni yithiawa nzeo nundu nithongooa nesa nakwoou noyithiwe itemwe kila mbua nikana inengemimea/liu nzeve nesa. Nzia ino yithiwa nzeo namithemba imwe ya miti ta Cassia siamea, CassiaSpectabilis, musanduku, Lusina, Kyoo miti imweniyithiawa miseo ila mini no yeananga withiaandivandaniw’a na kindu nayo nita Mvinje, mukima /muvaliti, munyongo na Albzia spp.

Ve muimi waatumia nzia ino ya kuvanda mitina liu vamwe? ethiwa evo, ni miti na liu wiva syeekienesa syavandaniw’a? Makulye mamunenge uvooiulu wa kila mamanyie kumanana na mbanda inona muyuka na umanyi uyu ila ingi kukwithiwa namauvundisyo.

Imwe aimi no matate kwa kuvanda mitau ominini niundani yoo na kwona kana venakivathukany’o na mbua ila ingi.

3. Kusiia kiseve: Kuvanda miti laini itaanie nisiiaakiseve. Uu naw’o nusiiaa mimea/liu kumana nakukomwa ni kiseve na kwanangika, Vanda miti ilaminene kati, miti ila mini iatiioe lainini usu ungi,na ikuthu na nyeki iyiatiia. Vanda isiie kiseve. utaaniuwa laini sya miti waile ithiwa wi 4-5m na 2.4mkatikati wa miti ila yi lainini.

Useo wa kuvanda miti ya kusiia nzeve nundu muimindeithiawa ayumya kisio kinene kya muundakuvanda miti no viata wa miti ino niwonekaa naukatuma withiwa na ngetha nzeo nundu kiseve kilakitonya kwananga liu nikisiie. Ingi miti ya kusiianzeve yavandwa nai nitonya utuma liu wangikanundu ethiwa nzeve yeelekelw’a ngali ila itaile kanamwina mwanya nzeve itonya ulikila nitonya

kwananga mimea. Sisya mundu wisi undu miti yakusiia nzeve ivandawa autetheesye ethiwa wiendauvanda miti ya kusiia nzeve.

4. Kutiia uvanda:- Vaa ni vala muimi wambaaukilila mbia siana una ate kuima kisio kina kyamuunda na ayieka ikuthu iimea nikana muthangautunge unou. Kana nutonya uvanda ikuthu ilasyongelaa muthanga nitrogen ta munyongo na wuti.5. Nima ya Kuvulany’a: vaa ni vala muimi uvandaamiti na liu vamwe indi miti uyithia ivanditwemataila. Miti miseo ya nima ino ni miti ila ietaemuunyi na kwongela unou wa muthanga. Uvoombeange kilunguni kingi.

6. Kwailya kisio kya ndithya: Kusuvia miti kisionikya ndithya nikana wongele uithyo/ wovo na ngu.Kwa ngelekany’o kundu kula kumu miti ya imweana isemei kana imwele, ivoa, muthiia, kyaiki, mulaa,kilului nimiseo nundu matu mayo ni maseo kwa kwaliu wa indo yila kwi thano.

7. Kuvanda miti ta tukuthu:- Kuu ni kuvanda mitimingi vandu vamwe tusio tusio tula twavandwaliu tutekaa nesa na no ivandaniw’e na liungelekany’o kuvanda muundani vala vakue ni kiw’una kuu utee uivanda liu. ingi miti ino nisiiaa nzeve.Miti ino no ivandwe vandu vamosu kuseuvyamuthanga wavo.

8. Kwikia muvaka: ngelekany’o Mithulu kanacommiphora zimmermannii subsp.

Amanyisya, lilikanai kana miti ya TIST niyaile ithiwaitaaniw’e undu vaile nikana yiane na kwikala kwaivinda yila yaile. Nzia imwe kati wa ila ineenewevaa iulu ni nzeo kwa nima ya uvandi wa miti na liukana ndithya yoka na iitonya utumika kwa nima yaTIST ya ndivi.
