Definition: Growing trees and shrubs together with agricultural crops or livestock. The overall aim of agroforestry is to increase the productivity 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 many different techniques and new methods are being discovered all the time. Some techniques are successful in one place and a disaster in others. People need to try different techniques and share the best practices in the training meetings. The following are some common methods of agroforestry: 1. Hedges: This involves selecting a tree species which can be placed in a line and which have benefits for the land. Hedges require little space, control erosion, and can produce leaves for fodder or mulch.An example of hedging is to plant a row of trees around the field boundary. Recommended spacing is around 1.5 - 2m.The best design includes a mixture of tall and short trees. 

e.g. Croton megalocarpus planted with Euphorbia tirucalli and/or Lantana camara. 2. Alley cropping:This involves establishing trees at very narrow spacing (0.5-2m) in rows along fields.There may be a tree row, then two or three rows of crops, then another tree row, then crops etc. An example of this is planting alternating rows of maize with leucaena, or coffee and bananas. The most suitable trees are leguminous ones (ones that fix nitrogen for the soil). Spacing between rows of trees should not be more than 5-8m.The tree rows need to be weeded and pruned regularly. The trees cannot grow too tall otherwise they will compete with the crops for soil nutrients and light. The pruned leaves can be added to the soil to improve the soil fertility. So these trees will not be suitable for TIST payments, as they have to be kept short, but they will improve the agricultural land and provide many other benefits to the farmer. Some good alley cropping trees have the ability to re-grow after they have been cut.This means they can be cut every crop season so that they do not grow too big and compete too much with the crops. This practice is called coppicing, and only works with some species. Some commonly coppiced species are Calliandra calothyrsus, Cassia siamea, Cassia spectabilis, Eucalyptus spp., Leucaena leucocephala, Markhamia lutea. Some species coppice well when they are young but may not coppice when they are mature e.g. Casuarina spp., Grevillea robusta, Sesbania sesban and some Albizia spp. 

· ENGLISH VERSION 3 Have any farmers used this method of planting trees and crops together? If so, what were suitable combinations? Ask them to share their experiences and bring the information to the next training session. Maybe farmers could try just a few rows of trees in their fields.Then they can see the results. If the results are good the number of tree rows can be increased next season. 3. Windbreak: Planting wide strips of trees to provide a windbreak.This then protects crops from the 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 right angles to the prevailing wind. Spacing within the lines of trees can be 4-5 m with 2-4 m between the lines. The advantage of windbreaks is that the farmer does not have to sacrifice an entire plot of land for trees. It only takes a strip of land, and the benefits can improve yields by 30% in some areas. Note that poorly planned windbreaks can damage crops more because it can channel the wind through gaps. 

Find someone experienced in this to help you design your windbreak. 4. Fallow cropping: This is where farmers stop growing crops on a piece of land and let trees take over to help restore soil fertility. Mostly nitrogenfixing shrubs are chosen e.g. Sesbania spp. and Gliricidia sepium. 5. Inter-cropping: This involves wide and even spacing of trees among food crops. Good trees are those that have light canopies and fix nitrogen. More on this in the next unit. 6. Grazing area improvement: Managing trees on grazing land to provide wood and fodder. For example, in arid and semi-arid lands, consider Acacia tortilis or some of the following: Salvadora persica, Cordia sinensis, Acacia eliator, Ziziphus mauritiana, Acacia albida,Acacia nubica,Acacia Senegal, Hyphaene compressa. 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 for your animals. 7. Woodlots: Small woodlots can be grown on unused or unproductive land, e.g. woodlots planted on stony outcrops or in gullies. Woodlots can also be planted on cropland to serve as a windbreak, or they can be planted on fallow land. 8. Marking boundaries e.g. Croton megalocarpus and Commiphora zimmermannii subsp. Trainers, note that TIST trees have to be correctly spaced in order to grow fully and remain in the ground long-term. Some of the above agro-forestry methods are best practices for agriculture, but may not qualify for TIST tree payments. ENGLISH VERSION 4 Other ideas to consider for certain ecological zones in Kenya. Higher altitude slopes with acidic soils (e.g. areas where tea grows well) Consider Calliandra calothyrsus and Morus alba for fodder production. Consider boundary planting and windbreaks with Croton megalocarpus, Grevillea robusta , Casuarina cunninghamiana, 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 boundary planting. Consider Syzygium spp. for windbreaks and planting along 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 (custard apple), Psidium guajava (guava), Eriobotrya japonica (loquat). Calliandra, Morus alba, Grevillea and Markhamia lutea are good options for planting on areas you want to control for soil erosion (soil conservation structures). Grevillea is a good shade tree for coffee. High altitude plains, with gentle sloping land and scarce numbers of trees: Consider windbreaks to protect crops, boundary planting and live fences e.g.Acacia mearnsii, Grevillea robusta, Hakea saligna, Croton macrostachyus, Dombeya spp., Dodonaea angustifolia, Casuarina cunningharniana, and Dovyalis caffra. Some temperate fruit trees may do well. Rift valley maize and dairy system. Since maize does not do well in shade, consider small woodlots or windbreaks, or trees planted on soil

 conservation structures e.g. Grevillea robusta,Sesbania spp., Croton macrostachyus, Croton megalocarpus, Acacia abyssinica, Eucalyptus spp.,Acacia mearnsii, Casuarina cunninghamiana, Dovyalis caffra, Markhamia lutea, Cordia abyssinica. Reminder Do remember that whilst planting trees brings many benefits you need to research the best types for your specific land type. Remember that trees compete with crops for water, and some crops do not like a lot of shade, for example. Get information from your nearby small groups and your extension workers. - Particularly get advice on suitable trees with deep roots and fewer surface roots (these trees are beneficial in agroforestry since surface roots compete with crops). Casuarina spp., Leucaena leucocephala, Cupressus lusitanica, and Sesbania sesbanhave shalloe root systems and may be better for stabilising soil on conservation areas. Eucalyptus spp. and Gmelina arborea can produce compounds which inhibit crop growth. - Intercropping may not work very well in areas receiving less than 800mm rainfall annually. Resources:

Your crops need water, soil nutrients and light to grow strong. If there are weeds they will compete with your crops for these things.The weeds will use the soil nutrients and water that your crops need.

The result is that your crops will be weaker and may not survive. 2. If your area is not weeded there will be more pests attracted to the area. Pests can damage and kill your crops. The fewer weeds there are, the less chance there will be of snakes and insects. Here are some of the advantages of weeding your fields: · Crops grow faster because weeds don’t take the nutrients and water from the soil · Crops will become stronger and grow taller in a shorter period of time · Crops can get the sunlight they need unhindered · Crops are not exposed to as many diseases · Crops are more protected from a fire spreading · Clean fields indicate that small groups are maintaining them and are good examples of the TIST program.This will attract people to come and see your work. Post-Harvest Reminder · Do not let your animals eat the crop remainder like maize and millet stalks, beans, legume leaves, groundnut leaves etc. Also do not burn the remainders. Instead you should collect them and store them in a safe place where they won’t be disturbed by animals or fire. This is so that you can use the crop remainders to make compost manure, a very effective natural fertilizer. Details about how to make compost manure are given in unit on soil fertility, and could be taught now as well. · 

If you have excess crop remainders leave them on the fields so that there is a covering over the field. The crop remains will rot down returning many good nutrients to the soil preparing and enriching it for the next planting season. · If you had conservation farming holes this year, do not close them up but leave them open ready for next planting season.The more years you do conservation farming in your fields the better the soil will become and the more harvest you will get (and even better if you can rotate the crops you put into that field). · Once you have weeded the area make sure you remove the weeds from the field. If you leave the dead weeds by the crops they may still attract pests and diseases that can damage your crop. · · · · · · · · · · ENGLISH VERSION 6 Working together in TIST, we have accomplished great things.T oday, there are more than 6.6 million trees growing because of our efforts. For TIST to be truly sustainable and help members earn extra income from the carbon sale, it is important that we all adhere to TIST Values. Majority of TIST Farmers are keeping their word on the terms signed on the Green House Gas agreement when they joined TIST. However, we have a few farmers who are going against this agreement. Whereas TIST allows sustainable thinning of trees, and 10% harvest of the Small Group’s trees when they are 10 years or older, some farmers are clear-cutting all their trees. This practice not only harms our environment, but also hurts other 

TIST farmers in the carbon business. During a r ecent Verification, the Independent Auditors raised serious concerns on the farmers who have clear-cut their trees. Such practices raise the risk buffer making significant amounts of carbon sequestered by other farmers not available to be sold. We are Accurate, Honest, and Mutually Accountable: Keeping trees for Long-term MakesTIST Sustainable. It is important to note, while such farmers cut their trees for sale, thereby earning income, farmers who continue to participate in TIST and the global carbon market have their carbon income negatively affected. TIST is therefore proposing that any farmers who clear-cut their trees for sale, she/he should refund 12.5% their gross sales of the tree products. One third of this amount shall be shared with the Cluster where the member belongs to help the Cluster recover from the loss of trees. One third should go to TIST to offset some of the expenses incurred while serving such a group through quantification, training, and MB. The remaining third should be shared with CAAC to offset Validation and Verification costs among other costs. 

TIST is encouraging Clusters to discuss this proposal in their next meeting.Their leaders should communicate the names of Small Groups where large amount of trees have been clear-cut to any member of the OLC or to the Cluster Servants.

Ukurasa 5 Sisi ni wenye usahihi, waaminifu na wanaotumikiana Kuweka miti ardhini kwa muda mrefu hutengeneza TIST. Ukurasa 6 Ndani: Mazingira Bora Published by TIST-Kenya. Web: www.tist.org Email: martinweru@tist.org Tel: 0722 - 846 501 KISWAHILI VERSION 2 Kilimo Endelevu: Kilimo Mseto. Mada muhimu kwa kilimo endelevu ni Kilimo mseto. Ufafanuzi: Kupanda miti na vichaka pamoja na mimea ya chakula au mifugo. Lengo la kijumla la klimo mseto ni kuongeza uzalishaji wa ardhi kupitia matumizi ya miti. 

Miti ina 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 mbin u mbalimbali na zingine mp ya zinazogunduliwa kila wakati. Baadhi ya mbinu hufanikiwa mahali pamoja na kuwa na maafa kwingine. W atu wanahitajika kujaribu mbn u mbalimbali na kugawana mitindo iliyo bora zaidi katika mikutano ya mafunzo. Zifuatazo ni baadhi ya mbinu zinazotumika sana sana katika kilimo mseto: 1. Nyua: Hili huhusisha kuchagua aina ya mti utakaopandwa kwa mstari na ambao una faida kwa ardhi. Nyua huhitaji nafasi ndogo, huzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo na hutengeneza majani kwa ajili ya chakula cha mifugo na matandazo. Mfano wa kutengeza ua ni kupanda miti kwa mstari ikizunguka mpaka wa shamba. Nafasi kati ya miti inayopendekezwa ni kati ya mita moja na nusu na mita mbili. Njia bora zaidi ni kuchanganya miti mirefu na mifupi. Kwa mfano Croton megalocarpus wawezwa pandwa pamoja na Euphorbia tirucalli pamoja na /au Lantana camara. 2. Kilimo mseto kwa mistari: Hili huhusisha kupanda miti iliyo na nafasi ndogo sana (nusu mita kufika mita mbili) iliyopandwa kwa mistari shamba lilivyo. Kwaweza kuwa na mstari wa miti halafu mistari miwili au mitatu ya mimea, halafu mstari mwingine wa miti, halafu mimea, na kadhalika. Mfano wa hili ni kupanda mistari ya mahindi iliyoandana nay a Leucaena au kahawa na ndizi. 

Miti iliyo bora zaidi ni ile ya familia ya kunde ( inayoweka naitrojeni udongoni). Nafasi kati ya mistari ya miti yafaa kuwa mita tano kufika nane. Mistari hiyo ya miti yafaa kupaliliwa na kupunguzwa majani mara kwa mara. Miti hiyo isiwe mirefu au itaanza kupigana na mimea ili kupata virutubisho na mwangaza. Majani yaliyokatwa yaweza kuongezwa kwa udongo ili kuongeza rutuba ya udongo. Kwa hivyo miti hii haitaweza kupata malipo ya TIST, kwani inafaa kuwekwa ikiwa mifupi, lakini itaboresha ardhi kwa kilimo na kumpa mkulima faida zingine nyingi. Baadhi ya mimea mizuri ya kupanda pamoja na mimea huweza kukua tena inapokatwa. Kumaanisha inaweza kukatwa kila msimu wa mimea ili isiwe mikubwa sana isije ikapigana sana na mimea. Mtindo huu unaitwa ‘copicing’ na hufanikiwa kwa baadhi ya mimea.Aina za miti hii ni Calliandra calothyrsus, Cassia siamea, Cassia spectabilis, Eucalyptus spp., Leucaena leucocephala, Markhamia lutea. Baadhi ya miti humea tena vizuri inapokuwa change lakini haimei tena inapokomaa kwa mfano Casuarina spp., Grevillea robusta, Sesbania sesban na baadhi ya Albizia spp. · · · · · · · · · · · · KISWAHILI VERSION 3 Je, wakulima wametumia jinsi hii ya kupanda miti na kulima? Kama ndivyo ni njia gani mwafaka ya kuchanganya? Wauleze wajandiliene na wakuje na majibu kwenye mkutano ujao. Pengine wakulima wanaweze jaribu mistari kadhaa kwenye mashamba zao. 

W angalie majibu. Kama majibu iko sawa waongeze mistari mingine musimu ujao 3. Kizuia upepo: Kupanda miti iliyofuatana ili kutengeneza kizuia upepo. Miti hii hulinda mimea kutokana na upepo unaokuja. Panda miti mikubwa kati kati, midogo zaidi mistari miwili inayofuata na miti mifupi, vichaka na nyasi nje. Panda ikiwa dhidi ya upepo unaokuja. Nafasi kati ya miti iwe mita nne au tano na mbili kufika nne kati ya mistari. Faida ya vizuia upepo ni kuwa mkulima si lazima hatoe shamba lote ili kupanda miti. Inachukua kipande cha ardhi na faida zaweza ongeza mazao kwa asilimia thelathini katika baadhi ya maeneo. Kumbuka kuwa vizuia upepo visivyopangiwa vizuri vyaweza kuharibu mimea kwani vinaweza kupitisha upepokupitia nafasi. Tafuta mtu aliye na ujuzi kukusaidia kupangia kizuia upepo. 4. Kupumzisha ardhi: Hapa ni ambapo wakulima huacha kupanda mimea kwa kipande cha ardhi na kuiacha miti kumea ili kusaidia kurejesha rutuba ya udongo. Ni miti mifupi inayoweka naitrojini udongoni inayochaguliwa mara nyingi kwa mfano Sesbania spp. na Gliricidia sepium. 5. Kuchanganya mimea na miti: Hili huhusisha kupanda miti yenye nafasi kubwa kati kati ya mimea. Miti mizuri ni isiyo na matawi mengi na inayoweka naitrojeni udongoni. 6. Kuboresha pahali pa kulisha mifug o: kuchunga miti iliyo katika ardhi ya kulisha mifugo ili kukupa kuni na chakula cha mifugo. Kwa mfano, katika maeneo kame fikiria kupanda Acacia tortilis ama baadhi ya miti ifuatayo:Salvadora persica, Cordia sinensis, Acacia eliator, Ziziphus mauritiana, Acacia albida, Acacia nubica, Acacia Senegal, Hyphaene compressa. Katika maeneo mazuri zaidi, kulingana na urefu juu ya ziwa, panda Leucaena leucocephala, Sesbania sesban, 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 maeneo yasiyotumika au yasiyozalisha, kwa mfano miti ilipondwa katika eneo lenye mawe yaliyojitokeza juu na katika mitar o. Miti mifupi pia ya weza kupandwa katika ardhi yenye mimea kufanya kazi ya kizuia upepo, ama yaweza kupandwa katika ardhi iliyopumzishwa. 8. Kuashiria mipaka e.g. Croton megalocarpus na Commiphora zimmermannii subsp. Wanaofunza, jua kuwa miti ya TIST inapewa nafasi nzuri ili ikue inavyofaa na ikae ardhini kwa muda mrefu.

 Baadhi ya mbinu za kilimo mseto zilizo hapo juu ni mitindo bora zaid ya kilimo lakini miti haitaweza kupata malipo ya TIST. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Fikira zingine za kujaribu katika baadhi ya maeneo ya kiasiri Kenya. Miteremko iliyo katika maeneo ya urefu mkubwa yenye udongo wenye acidi (kwa mfano ambapo majani chai hukua vizuri). Fikiria kupanda Calliandra calothyrsus na Morus alba kupata chakula cha mifugo. Kupanda mipaka na vizuia upepo fikiria miti kama Croton megalocarpus, Grevillea robusta, Casuarina cunninghamiana, Millettia dura, Hakea saligna. Kwa matunda fikiria miti ya bustani (kama plums, peaches, pears). Miteremko iliyo maeneo yenye urefu mdogo (kwa mfano ambapo kahawa hukua vizuri) Fikiria kupanda Jacaranda mimosifolia kama mti wa kutengeza mipaka Unweza panda Syzygium spp. Ili kuzuia upepo au kando ya mikondo ya maji. Fikiria kupanda miti ya matunda kama Cyphomandra betacea (tree tomato), Persea americana(avocado), Macadamia tetraphylla (macadamia), Passiflora edulis (passion fruit), Casimiroa edulis (white sa pota), Annona senegalensis (custard apple), Psidium guajava (guava), Eriobotrya japonica (loquat). Calliandra, Morus alba, Grevillea na Markhamia lutea ni miti mizuri ya kupanda katika maeneo unayotaka kudhibiti mmomonyoko wa udongo (miundo ya kuhifadhi udongo). Grevillea ni mti mzuri wa kuipa mimea ya kahawa kivuli Maeneo tambarare yaliyo na urefu mkubwa, yenye ardhi iliyo na mteremko mdogo na miti michache: Kama vizuia upepo ili kulinda mimea yako, miti ya mipaka na nyua zilizo hai fikiria miti kama Acacia mearnsii, Grevillea robusta, Hakea saligna, Croton macrostachyus, Dombeya spp., Dodonaea angustifolia, Casuarina cunningharniana, and Dovyalis caffra. Baadhi ya miti ya matunda inayokua mahali penye joto la kawaida yaweza kukua vizuri. Mfumo wa mahindi na maziwa katika bonde la ufa Kwa sababu miti haikui vizuri chini ya kivuli, fikiria miti mifupi ama vizuia upepo au miti inayopandwa katika mifumo ya kuhifadhi udongo kwa mfano Grevillea robusta,Sesbania spp., Croton macrostachyus, Croton megalocarpus, Acacia abyssinica, Eucalyptus spp., Acacia mearnsii, 

Casuarina cunninghamiana, Dovyalis caffra, Markhamia lutea, Cordia abyssinica. Kumbuka Kumbuka kuwa ingawa kupanda miti huleta faida nyingi unahitajika kutafiti kuhusu aina bora zaidi kwa aina maalum ya ardhi yako. Kumbuka kuwa miti hushindana na mimea kupata maji na mimea mingine haipendi kivuli kingi, kwa mfano. Pata taarifa kutokana na vikundi vidogo vilivyo karibu nawe na wafanyikazi katika sekta ya kilimo. - Pata ushauri sana sana kuhusu aina ya miti inayofaa iliyo na mizizi inayofika chini zaidi na yenye mizizi ya juu michache ( miti hii ina faida katika kilimo mseto kwa sababu mizizi ya juu hushindana na mimea). Mizizi ya Casuarina spp., Leucaena leucocephala, Cupressus lusitanica, na Sesbania sesbanhave shalloe yaweza kuwa bora kwani inatuliza udongo katika maeneo yanayohifadhiwa. Eucalyptus spp. na Gmelina arborea hutengeneza misombo ina yozuia mimea kukua. - Kupanda mimea pamoja na miti haifanikiwi san asana katika maeneo yanayopata mvua isiyozidi milimita mia nane kila mwaka.

1. Mimea yako huhitaji maji, virutubisho vya udongo na mwanga ili kuongeza nguvu. Kunapokuwa na magugu, yatashindana na mimea yako kupata vitu hivi. Magugu yatatumia virutubisho na maji yanayohitajiwa na mimea yako. Mwishowe mimea yako itapunguza nguvu na yaweza kushindwa kuishi. 2. Iwapo eneo lako halijapaliliwa wadudu watavutwa kuja katika eneo hilo. W adudu waweza kuharibu na kuua mimea yako. Jinsi magugu yalivyo machache ndivyo kutakuwa na nafasi iliyopungua ya kuwa na nyoka na wadudu. Zinazofuata ni baadhi ya faida za kupalilia mashamba yako: · Mimea hukua kwa upesi zaidi kwani magugu hayachukui virutubisho na maji kutoka kwa udongo · Mimea itakua zaidi kinguvu na kuwa mirefu zaidi kwa wakati mdogo · 

Mimea yaweza kupata mwanga bila ya kufunikwa · Mimea haijawazishwwa kwa magonjwa mengi · Mimea hulindwa zaidi kutokana na kuenea kwa moto · Mashamba safi huonyesha kuwa kikundi kinayachunga nan i mifano mizuri katika mradi wa TIST. 

Hili litavuta watu kuja na kuona kazi yenu. Kilimo Endelevu: Mawaidha kuhusu kupalilia na baada ya kuvuna. Mawaidha kuhusu baada ya kuvuna. · Usiache mifugo ile mabaki ya mimea kama ya mahindi au mtama, maharagwe, majani ya kunde, majani ya njugu na kadhalika. Pia usiyachome mabaki hayo. Badalake, wafaa kuyakusanya na kuyaweka mahali pazuri ambapo hayatasumbuliwa na wanyama au moto. Sababu ya haya ni ili uyatumie mabaki kutengeza mbolea, ambayo ni mbolea nzuri sana ya kiasiri. · Iwapo una mabaki kuzidi yanayotosha yaache shambani ili yafunike shamba lako. Mabaki ya mimea huoza na kurudisha virutubisho vizuri udongoni na kuhuta yarisha kwa msim u unofuata wa kupanda. · Iwapo ulikuwa na mashimo ya kilimo hai mwezi huu, usiyafunike lakini uyaache yakiwa wazi na tayari kwa msimu hujao wa kupanda. Jinsi miaka uliyotumia mbinu ya kilimo hai shambani mwako inavyoongezeka ndivyo udongo wako unavyoboreka na ma vuno utakayopata yanavyoongezeka ( na pia ni bora zaidi iwapo unaweza kubadilisha mimea unayopanda katika shamba hilo). · Unapopalilia eneo hilo hakikisha umetoa magugu kutoka shambani. Unapoacha magugu yaliyokufa shambani karibu na mimea, yanaweza kuvuta wadudu na mag onjwa yanayoweza kuumiza mimea yako. · · · · · · · · · · KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Kutoka kulia hadi kushoto:Y uguchi T. (JACO-CDM Verifier), Fukuda T. (JACO-CDM Verifier), Charlie Williams (CAAC), Josephine Mwangi (Kwantifaya katika TIST), Martin Weru (Mkaguzi TIST) katika mazoezi ya kukagua na kuhakikisha kazi mwezi wa February mwaka 2014. T ukifanya kazi pamoja katika TIST, tumetimiza mambo makubwa. Leo, kuna zaidi ya miti milioni sita nukta sita inayokua kwa sababu ya juhudi zetu. Ili TIST iwe endelevu kwa ukweli na isaidie memba kupata mapato ya ziada kutokana na uuzaji wa kaboni, ni muhimu kwetu sote kufuatilia na maadili ya TIST. 

Wengi wa wakulima katika TIST wanafuatilia ahadi zao zilizopo katika mkataba wa makubaliano wa GhG waliotia saini walipoingia katika TIST. Hata hivyo, kuna wakulima wachache wanaoenda kinyume na mkataba huu. Ingawa TIST huruhusu upunguzaji wa miti na mavuno ya asilimia kumi ya miti katika kikundi kidogo ikifikia umri wa miaka kumi au zaidi, wakulima wengine wanakata miti yote. Zoezi hili halidhuru mazingira tu, bali linadhuru wakulima wengine wa TIST katika biashara ya kaboni. Wakati wa ukaguzi wa kupitishwa hivi karibuni, wakaguzi walizusha wasiwasi mkubwa kwa wakulima waliokata miti yote. Mitindo kama hiyo huongeza kiwango cha kaboni isiyolipwa inayokuwa kama ishara ya kuzuia hasara na hivyo basi kufanya kaboni iliyotengezwa na wakulima wengine kukosa kuuzwa. Ni muhimu kutambua, ingawa wakulima kama hao hukata miti ili kuuza, kwa hivyo kupata mapato, wakulima wanaoendelea kushiriki katika TIST na soko ya dunia nzima ya kaboni hupata mapato yao yakipungua. Hivyobasi,

TIST inapendekeza kuwa wakulima wowote watakaokata miti yao yote, warudishe asilimia kumi na mbili nukta tano ya mapato yao yote kutokana na mauzo hayo. Theluthi moja ya kiasi hiki itagawanwa na cluster ya memba huyo kusaidia cluster kupona kutokana na kupoteza miti hiyo.Theluji moja iende kwa TISt ili kurudisha pesa zilizotumika wakati wa kutumikia kikundi hicho kwa kuhesabu miti, kuwafunza na gazeti la MB. Theluji ya mwisho igawanwe na kampuni ya CAAC ili irudishe pesa zilizotumika katika ukaguzi ili kupitishwa pamoja na matumizi mengine. TIST inahimiza cluster kujadiliana mapendekezo haya katika mkutano wao ujao. Viongozi wao wanafaa kuwasiliana majina ya vikundi vidogo ambapo nambari kubwa ya miti ilikatwa kwa memba yeyote wa chama cha uongozi cha OLC ama kwa watumishi katika cluster.
