From demonstration to transformation: How partnerships and practice are reshaping farming in Kongwa district, Tanzania
In June 2026, farmers, researchers, extension officers, and private-sector partners met in Kongwa District, Tanzania, to demonstrate how partnerships and regenerative agriculture are improving productivity, soil health, and climate resilience.
On a warm June morning in IDUO Village, Kongwa District, farmers gathered not just to observe but to experience a different way of farming. Hosted by Kibaigwa Flour Supplies (KFS) under the Growing Together Program, the farmer field day brought together 62 participants—farmers, extension officers, researchers, and private sector partners—with one shared purpose: to turn knowledge into practical solutions that farmers can immediately apply. But what made this day different was not just the technologies on display; it was the partnership behind them.
Growing Together is a program led by IDH, funded by Norad, and implemented in partnership with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, Rikolto and EAGC in Tanzania and Ethiopia. The program seeks to support and transform SMEs and producers towards resilient, sustainable and inclusive production and sourcing.
