Page 5 Fast growing indigenous trees. Page 6 Inside: In TIST, we learn and develop best practices by trying new things and observing and learning from the results. After a year of experience with elected Group of Clusters Councils Representatives, many TIST farmers have come up with ideas to improve this service structure.
The TIST Leadership Council has agreed to this idea: beginning this month, the Cluster Accountability Person and the Co-leader will serve as the Cluster’s representatives to the Group of Clusters Council. This change will simplify elections and give the elected cluster leaders more ways to grow and serve in TIST. A Group of Clusters is 2 to 4 clusters close enough to be able to share equipment and training capabilities. Like in the previous Councils, the new GOCC will serve for 6 months. Please note, Co-leader will serve as GOCC representative for the period he or she is serving as Co-Leader (4 months) and two more months while serving as the Cluster Leader. Similarly, the Accountability Person will serve on the Council for 4 months while serving as Accountability Person and 2 more months while serving as Co-Leader. Both leaders will rotate out when they have served 6 months but will continue to serve their clusters for the remaining period in their Cluster leadership roles. The Group of Council (GOC) will be meeting monthly preferably on the first week of the month and should submit reports of each meeting. Responsibilities of elected Group of Clusters Representatives. 1) Discover and share Best Practices from Clusters; 2) Assure high quality training for the Clusters following TIST Values; 3) Assure high quality Quantification following TIST Values; 4) Maintain working equipment for training and Quantification; 5) Report concerns and make recommendations for policies to Regional Council; 6) Expand TIST through present Clusters; 7) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Quantifier or Trainer is suspended to investigate facts and make recommendations on suspension; 8) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Cluster Leader is not following TIST Values; 9) Recommend people from the Group of Clusters for additional TIST responsibilities such as Auditor, TSE, or Master Trainer. ENGLISH VERSION 2 Your Accountability Person and Co-Leader will now serve you in Group of Cluster Council.
As TIST expands to new areas within our country, more and more Clusters are being formed, and existing clusters are growing as neighbors join to create new TIST Small Groups.TIST benefits are being shared and experienced in new areas. Today, more than 130 active clusters have been formed. We are working hard to increase the number of Clusters to 200 by the end of this year. We thank our TIST Kenya Team for their hard work and dedication to ensure that each and every cluster is well organized, well served, and moving ahead to meet the TIST goals. As we all know, we all need to work together to help TIST and its benefits grow. We can plant trees, and develop and use other TIST Best Practices like Conservation Farming (CF), improving riverbanks, and planting and caring for diverse trees to make our clusters strong as we improve our own farms and lives. As a reminder:
• A Cluster should have 30-50 Small Groups
• A Cluster’s Small Groups should be within walking distance of a central meeting point
• A Cluster should have at least 100 hectares of land set aside for tree planting
• A Cluster should have at least 200,000 live trees
• A Cluster should do accurate quantification and high quality training TIST and its benefits continue to grow! By Aaron Kaindio ENGLISH VERSION 3
• A Cluster should have enough seedlings in nurseries for annual planting needs. Each Small Group should plant at least 1,000 trees per year to have 5,000 trees by the fifth year What Should a Good Cluster Do?
• A Cluster should hold elections each 4 months to select an Accountability Person who will rotate through the positions
• A Cluster should meet every month for training, sharing of best practices, distribution of Mazingira Bora, payments, and other matters
• At Cluster meetings, representatives should share information transparently with other members, such as how the cluster budget was used
• At the monthly Cluster meeting, a Cluster should submit their Cluster Meeting Record and their Cluster Accounting Form by Palm
• A Cluster should actively request quantifications when needed
• A Cluster should ensure that quantification is accurate
• A Cluster should work to improve data quality of its Small Groups so that more trees can be eligible for the carbon market (included in Carbon Project Documents)
• A Cluster should work to make payments to each Small Group
• A Good cluster is always recruiting and training new Small Groups. GROWTH makes the TIST program stronger! A Cluster should multiply to 2 when it reaches 400 members What Should You Do If You Need Assistance?
• For information on quantification data quality, contact Martin Weru at 0722846501
• For information on equipment (Palms), contact Charles Ibeere at 0720474209
• For information on expanding your Cluster, contact Eunice Wambui at 0724431071 At today’s meeting, talk with your Cluster Service Team and Cluster Representatives. How many trees does your cluster have today? How many Small Groups does your cluster have today? What can YOU do today to make your cluster strong? In TIST, we can! When you plant a tree, know that you are helping even the future generation so they will have a good, clean and beautiful environment. They shall appreciate that we worked so hard to fight climate change and to eradicate poverty. This is why we in TIST are more selective on what species of trees to plant in on our lands and along our riverbanks. We are planting not just for ourselves, but also for our children, and theirs. Some trees can be harmful to our environment in some areas, though they have other benefits. Trees like eucalyptus grow very quickly because they consume a lot of water and soil nutrients.
For this reason, this tree can be good for commercial purpose, but may harm the environment in some areas, especially along rivers and in wetlands. They do not grow well in fields where we want to grow other crops and may make the soil less suitable for crops even after tree harvest. We are planting trees, which shall last for the long –term (30 years and over) as required by carbon markets. Farmers in Small Groups with high percentage of eucalyptus should try to achieve the TIST recommendation of having no more than 33% eucalyptus trees, by planting indigenous trees on new land or thinning some eucalyptus and replacing them with other trees, especially indigenous trees. This is especially important along rivers. Remember that the government discourages planting of eucalyptus near rivers and in riparian areas. Plant water friendly indigenous trees, and follow best practices, and you may be able to qualify for the additional incentive for indigenous trees in riparian areas. You’ll be making rivers healthier for your family, for people downstream, and for generations to come. Let’s all do this so that we can sustain our TIST program and also our entire environment.

By Aaron Kaindio ENGLISH VERSION 4 TIST Clusters have begun yet another Best Practice: growing green grams for more income and nutritional purposes for our families. We have started with twelve pioneer clusters, which, through the Helped to Help program, will expand to other Clusters in coming seasons. These pilot clusters are Mumbuni, Kiengu, Kaanwa, Mworoga ,Giaki, Matakiri, Kirindini, Nkondi, Tunyai, Gachuua , Kawiru MCK and Mikinduri. In each of the 12 Clusters above, 5 members each received 5kgs of green gram of N26 variety to plant on one acre. Due to smaller land size in some areas, in some clusters, farmers shared the seed to combine effort, with each to plant on his or her land half an acre of green gram. Harvest will be in January, and each promised to share from their harvest so that 2 more farmers in their cluster can plant next season. To this end, in February, pioneers will pass 5kgs of N26 green gram to three others in their cluster. Thousands of TIST farmers want to grow green gram, both for its good nutrition and its commercial potential, since it grows well even with low rainfall. Pioneers were trained on marketing of Green Gram at a seminar You can organize in your clusters to try growing green gram. Here are some things to keep in mind for success in the green gram market: Commercialization eye. Commercialization is a commercial approach to enterprise development that looks at a business processes from a benefit maximization perspective. For success, an entrepreneur needs to identify all the activities involved in the running of his /her enterprise with a business mind. It involves analyzing every stage to identify the cost and benefits. Producer/processing groups need to view their farming activities with a commercial eye. In addition to producing for subsistence needs, the members should gear themselves to producing for income generation.The incomes generated should however be sufficient to meet for the costs incurred in production and to create optimal profits for the members. Community commercialization involves:
1. Ensuring that the enterprise emphasizes a business/market oriented approach at all levels to facilitate a less cost –more value attitude among the producers, fostering optimal profits. 2. Producers conducting a simple market research to identify their strengths and the underlying market opportunities. 3. Producers forming business units with clear membership guidelines and allocations of duties and responsibilities. 4. Different TIST producer groups coming together to form large units otherwise known as commercial villages to bulk enough produce for institutional, formal and mass markets 5. Establishing the producer group governance structures. TIST Cluster commercialization. Definition – Cluster commercialization is a market led commercial approach through which typical TIST cluster are commercialized and equipped to meet private sector markets requirements and further increase the commercial village participation along value chains. Villages are empowered to operate like business units to achieve significant volumes of farm produce supply consistently, improve their supply and outsourcing logistics and achieve efficiency. This aims at: a. Mobilizing farmers in the social villages to form commercial producers groups (CPG). b. Integration of small groups farmers and villages into mainstream value chains. c. Enhance the capacity of clusters as respectable market players. d. Increase the competitiveness of small holders. Benefits of Cluster commercialization. The major benefit or advantages that are derived from such an approach include: a. Collection, transportation, processing and marketing of produce together effectively and efficiently. b. Support to agricultural production of members through distribution of farm inputs c. Dissemination of applied technology to members. d. Provision of credit to members for defraying urgent expenses such as school fees, funerals, hospital bills etc. at affordable cost. e. Creating employment indirectly, through selfemployment in the industry. f. Collective marketing increases product Green gram program farming clusters. By Jennifer Kithure ENGLISH VERSION 5 volumes thus increasing chances of attracting more buyers. g. A contract farming or contract production for groups. h. Proper saving schemes enable members to reduce mismanagement of funds both for group and for members. i. Group planning on viable business opportunities j. Organized groups attract donors to support group projects. TIST Clusters green gram champions are in all the 12 clusters that have started the green gram farming program. They will support with green gram production, seed bulking and marketing. This will happen with advice and support of Farm Concern International, who trained the champions on the matters described in this article. Core factions and responsibilities of green gram champions. I. To review periodically the situation of green gram production and examine problems of common interest in this field; II. To prepare coordinated production program schedules to be executed by the commercial producer groups. III. To ensure the coordination of effort and the cooperation of production units. IV. To discuss technical subjects in relation to green gram production and marketing with other stake holders. V. Work out a production and marketing plan in consultation with the local producers VI. To promote the sharing of responsibility for resource management and planning between the different spheres of Government, the farmers and other stake holders. VII. To provide guidelines on sustainable development of natural and physical resources for the farmers. Learn more about green gram today! If your cluster is in a region favorable for cultivating green gram, and you are interested in joining to eradicate hunger in our community and country at large – just contact Jeniffer Kithure phone no. 0726319539 for more information.With TIST we grow, eradicate hunger and sell carbon credits. In TIST, we plant trees to take part in the carbon market and earn income from carbon offset sales. However, the other benefits of trees are enormous! Here are just a few benefits we (and the rest of the world) enjoy:
• Trees serve as natural habitat to support a wide variety of flora and fauna.They provide a sense of privacy and security to wildlife seeking shelter in the woods and provide them with food. Protecting biodiversity makes our farms and our planet more productive and resilient to climate change and other challenges.
• Trees improve the quality of air and reduce dangerous pollution. Trees remove excess carbon dioxide and air pollutants including sulfur dioxide, ozone and nitrogen oxide. In return, they give us oxygen required for life.
• The visual quality of a landscape is improved by planting trees, which, in turn, improves the quality of life. The greenery of trees adds color to the landscape and enhances the picturesque beauty of the environment.
• Trees control the climate by moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. They can help prevent severe floods, landslides, and wind damage. Trees moderate flood hazards by allowing the rainwater to percolate into the soil instead of running over it.
• Trees reduce soil erosion. Their roots bind soil that would otherwise wash away in rainstorms and floods. Trees also help improve the fertility of soil. Rich soil transfers nutrients to food, which contributes to human health.
• Trees are great absorbers of noise. Noise pollution can be reduced to a great extent by planting more and more trees. The demand for clean drinking water can be met by planting indigenous trees. Forests and plant cover naturally slows the runoff of rainwater and filters it into the soil. Once slowed, rainwater seeps down to refill underground aquifers we depend on for our use. Trees also shade rivers, keeping water cool, and slowing its loss through evaporation. Trees make the environment better for us all. ENGLISH VERSION 6 Fast growing indigenous trees. By Christine Yankel Indigenous trees provide many different benefits. This month, we focus on some indigenous trees that are especially useful because they are fast growing. In the wild, often these species are pioneer species, growing first and fast when space is opened by fire or cutting. Talk to trainers and other Small Groups in your cluster and discuss together which species are best in your area. Hagenia abyssinica, African redwood, muhooru With its beautiful red timber, and growing quickly up to 20 m, Hagenia abyssinica is a good tree to grow in high elevations that receive 1,000 to 1,500 mm of rainfall each year. It has many benefits: its leaves enrich soil, and make it a good tree for planting in farm fields for agroforestry. It is a medicinal tree, and can help preserve the soil. Its wood is valuable timber and also makes good firewood or charcoal. The tree grows easily from seed. Pretreatment is not necessary and seeds germinate within 10-20 days of planting with a germination rate of 40-60%. If planted in together with crops, plant at a low density. Prune branches to encourage straight growth of the trunk. Macaranga kilimandscharica, mukuhakuha/ mukura Macaranga is a fast-growing tree that is a good choice for growing together with coffee or bananas.. It grows best with 1,500 to 2,500 mm of rainfall each year.
It is a good barrier tree, and because of its fast growth, can protect soils from eroding. Its wood is good for firewood and is used in making boxes or fencing. An extract of its roots is useful medicine. Grow macaranga from seed. The tree grows well and with minimal care once well established Published by TIST-Kenya.

Mwezi uliopita walikuwa na na mafunzo kuhusu kutengeneza tuta na upandaji wa miti na ukulima.Vikundi sita mpya walijiunga na TIST wakati huo wa mafundisho. KISWAHILI VERSION 2 Katika TIST, twasoma na kuanzisha njia bora zaidi za kufanya mambo kupitia kujaribu mambo mapya na kuangalia na kuyajua matokeo. Baada ya mwaka mmoja wa kuangalia kazi ya waliochaguliwa kama wawakilishi katika chama cha kikundi cha cluster kadhaa, wakulima wengi katika TIST wamekuja na mawazo ya kuboresha muundo huu wa utumishi. Chama cha uongozi katika TIST kimeitikia wazo hili: kuanzia mwezi huu, mwajibikaji wa cluster na msaidizi wa kiongozi watatumika kama wawakilishi wa clustter katika chama cha kikundi cha cluster. Mabadiliko haya yatarahisisha uchaguzi na yawape viongozi wa cluster jia zaidi za kukua na kutumikia TIST. Kikundi cha cluster ni cha cluster mbili kufika nne zilizo karibu vile zaweza kutumia vifaa na mafunzo pamoja. Kama katika vyama vilivyopita, GOCC mpya itatumikia miezi sita. tafadhali jua, msaidizi wa kiongozi atatumika kama mwakilishi katika GOCC kwa muda anaotumika kama msaidizi wa kiongozi (miezi minne) na miezi mingine miwili akiwa kiongozi.

Vivyo hivyo, mweka vitabu na pesa za cluster atatumika katika chama hiki kwa miezi minne akiwa mweka vitabuna pesa na mingine miwili akiwa msaidizi wa kiongozi. Chama cha GOC kitakuwa kikikutana kila mwezi sana sana wiki ya kwanza ya mwezi na kutuma ripoti za kila mkutano. Kazi za wawakilishi wateuliwa wa kikundi cha cluster 1) Kugundua na kugawana mbinu bora kutoka kwa cluster; 2) Kuhakikisha mafunzo ya hali ya juu ya cluster yakifuatilia maadili ya TIST; 3) Kuhakikisha uhesabu miti wa hali ya juu ukifuatilia maadili ya TIST; 4) Kudumisha vifaa vya kazi ya mafunzo na uhesabu miti; 5) Kuripoti masuala yanayoleta wasi wasi na kutoa mapendekezo ya sera kwa baraza la mkoa; 6) Kupanua TIST kupitia cluster zilizopo; 7) Kufanya mikutano ya kiutawala iwapo mhesabu miti au mwalimu ameachishwa kazi na kuchunguza ukweli na kufanya mapendekezo kuhusu kusimamishwa ; 8) Kufanya mikutano ya kiutawala iwapo kiongozi katika cluster hafuatilii maadili ya TIST; 9) Kupendekeza watu kutokana na kikundi cha cluster watakaoongezewa wajibu mwingine katika TIST kwa mfano mkaguzi, TSE au mwalimu bingwa. Jinsi TIST inavyotambaa katika maeneo mapya katika nchi yetu, cluster zingine na zingine zaendelea kutengenezwa na cluster zilizopo zaendelea kukua jinsi majirani wanavyojiunga kutengeza vikundi vipya vya TIST. Faida za TIST zagawanywa na kushuhudiwa katika maeneno mapya. Leo, zaidi ya cluster mia moja thelathini zimetengezwa.
Tunafanya kazi kwa bidii kuongeza cluster ili ziwe zimefika mia mbili ifikapo mwisho wa mwaka huu. Twashukuru timu ya TIST ya uongozi katika Kenya kwa kazi yao ya bidii na kujitolea kwao kuhakikisha kuwa kila cluster imejipanga sawa, inatumikiwa vizuri na inasonga mbele kufikia mabao ya TIST. Kama tunavyojua, twahitaji kufanya kazi pamoja kusaidia TIST na faida zake kukua. Twaweza kupanda miyi, na kukuza na kutumia njia bora zaidi za TIST kama Kilimo hai, kuboresha kando za mito, kupanda na kutunza miti ya aina tofauti ili kuongeza cluster zetu nguvu tunavyoboresha mashamba na maisha yetu. Kama kumbusho:
• Cluster yafaa iwe na vikundi vidogo thelathini kufika hamsini
• Vikundi vidogo vya cluster vyafaa viwe vimekaribiana na mahali pa mikutano hadi umbali unaoweza kutembewa kwa miguu
• Cluster yafaa kuwa na shamba lisilopungua hekari mia moja lililotengwa kwa upanzi wa miti
• Cluster yafaa kuwa na miti isiyopungua mia Mweka vitabu na pesa zenu na msaidizi wa kiongozi sasa watawatumikia katika chama cha kikundi cha cluster. TIST na faida zake zaendelea kukua! Umeletewa na Aaron Kaindio KISWAHILI VERSION 3 mbili iliyo hai
• Cluster yafaa kufanya uhesabu miti makini na mafunzo ya hali ya juu.
• Cluster yafaa kuwa na miche wanayohitaji katika mwaka tosha katika minanda yao. Kila kikundi kidogo chafaa kupanda miti isiyopungua elfu moja kila mwaka ili wawe na miti elfu tano katika mwaka wa tano. Cluster nzuri yafaa kufanya nini?
• Cluster yafaa kufanya uchaguzi kila miezi mine kuchagua mwajibikaji wa cluster ambaye atazunguka viti vya uongozi
• Cluster yafaa kukutana kila mwezi ili kupata mafunzo, kugawana njia bora za kufanya mambo, kupeana mazingira Bora, malipo na mambo mengineo.
• Katika mikutano ya cluster, wawakilishi wanafaa kugawana ujuzi bila kuficha lolote na wanacluster wengine, kwa mfano jinsi pesa za cluster zilivyotumika.
• Katika mkutano wa cluster wa kila mwezi, cluster yafaa kutuma rekondi ya mkutano wa cluster na fomu ya uwajibikaji kwa kutumia kifaa kinachoitwa Palm.
• Cluster yafaa kuhitisha wahesabu miti ili kuhesabu miti inapohitajika
• Cluster yafaa kuhakikisha kuwa uhesabu miti ni wa makini
• Cluster yafaa kuboresha data ya vikundi vidogo ili miti mingine iweze kuingia katika soko la hewa. (iliyopo katika maagano ya miradi ya kaboni)
• Cluster yafaa kufanya bidii kufanya malipo kwa kila kikundi.
• Cluster nzuri inaingiza na kufunza vikundi vipya. KUKUA hufanya mradi wa TIST kuwa yenye nguvu zaidi! Cluster yafaa kujigawa na kuwa mbili inapofikisha wanacluster mia nne. Wafaa kufanya nini ukihitaji usaidizi?
• Ili kupata maelezo zaidi kuhusu hali ya data ya uhesabu miti, ongea na Martin Weru 0722846501
• Kwa maelezo zaidi kuhusu vifaa (Palms), ongea na Charles Ibeere 0720474209
• Kwa maelezo kuhusu kupanua cluster yako, ongea na Eunice Wambui 0724431071 Katika mkutano wa leo, ongea na timu ya utumikaji ya cluster yako na wawakilishi wa cluster. Cluster yako ina miti mingapi leo? Waweza kufanya nini leo ili kufanya cluster yako kuwa na nguvu? Katika TIST, twaweza! Unapopanda mti, jua kuwa unasaidia ata vizazi vijavyo ili viwe na mazingira mazuri, masafi na yenye urembo. Watashukuru kwa kuwa tulifanya kazi kwa bidii sana kupigana na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi na kumaliza umasikini. Hii ndiyo sababu sisi katika TIST tunachagua ni miti ya aina gani kupanda katika mashamba yetu na kando ya miti. Tunapanda sit u kwa ajili yetu, bali pia kwa watotoo wetu na wao. Miti mingine yaweza kuumiza mazingira yetu katika maeneo mengine, ata ingawa ina faida nyinginezo. Miti kama mikaratusi hukua haraka sana kwa sababu inachukua maji na virutubisho vya udongo vingi. Kwa sababu hii, mti huu waweza kuwa mzuri kwa sababu za kibiashara lakini waweza kuumiza mazingira katika maeneo mengine, san asana kando ya mito na ardhi oevu. Haikui vyema katika mashamba tunayotaka kupanda mimea mingine na yaweza kufanya udongo kuwa mibaya kwa mimea ata baada ya miti kukatwa. Tunapanda miti, ambayo itakaa muda mrefu (miaka thelathini au zaidi) kama inavyohitajika katika masoko ya hewa chafu). Wakulima katika vikundi vidogo vya TIST walio na asilimia kubwa ya mikaratusi vyafaa kujaribu kufikia mapendekezo ya TIST ya kuwa na asilimia isiyozidi asilimia thelathini na tatu, kwa kupanda miti ya kiasili katika mashamba mapya au kupunguza mikaratusi na badala yake kupanda miti mingine, sana sana miti ya kiasili. Hii ni muhimu hasa kando ya mito. Kumbuka kuwa serikali inakataza upanzi wa mikaratusi karibu na mito na maeneo yaliyozunguka mito. Panda miti ya kiasili iliyo mizuri kwa maji katika mashamba yaliyo karibu na mito. Utakuwa unafanya mito kuwa bora zaidi kiafya kwa familia yako, kwa watu walio chini ya mto na kwa vizazi vingi vijavyo. Acheni sote tufanye haya ili tuweze kuendeleza mradi wetu wa TIST na pia mazingira yetu yote. Aliyeandika ni Mhesabu miti wa TIST, Kigucwa Cluster. aronkandio@tist.org. Kujenga kesho iliyo na mwangaza kwa watoto wetu: miti ya aina mbali mbali husaidia! Umeletewa na Aaron Kaindio KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Cluster za TIST zimeanza zoezi lingine bora zaidi: upanzi wa ndengu ili kupata pesa zaidi na kwa sababu za kilishe katika familia zetu. Tumeanza na cluster kumi na mbili ambazo kupitia mradi wa Saidiwa usaidie, tutapatambaza kwa cluster zingine misimu ijayo.
Cluster hizi zilizoanza ni Mumbuni, Kiengu, Kaanwa, Mworoga ,Giaki, Matakiri, Kirindini, Nkondi, Tunyai, Gachuua , Kawiru MCK na Mikinduri. Katika kila cluster kati ya hizi kumi na mbili, memba watano walipewa kila mtu kilo tano za ndengu za aina ya N26 za kupanda katika ekari moja. Kwa sababu ya shida ya mashamba madogo katika maeneo mengine, katika cluster zingine, wakulima waligawana mbegu ili kusaidiana, na kila mmoja akapanda katika nusu ekari ya shamba lake. Mavuno ni januari, na kama ilivyoahidiwa kugawana kutokana na mavuno yao ili wakulima wengine wawili katika cluster yao waweze kupanda msimu hujao. Mpaka sasa, mwezi wa februari, walioanza watapitisha kilo tano za ndengu aina ya N26 kwa wakulima wengine watatu katika cluster yao. Maelfu ya wakulima wa TIST wanataka kupanda ndengu, kwa sababu za kimalisho na kupata pesa, kwani ndengu hukua vyema ata mahali penye mvua chache. Walioanzisha walifunzwa kuuza ndengu katika Semina. Mnaweza kupanganisha cluster yenu ili muanze kukuza ndengu. Yafuatayo ni mambo unayofaa kuweka akilini katika soko la ndengu: Jicho la Biashara. Hii ni njia ya kibiashara ya kuendeleza biashara na lengo la kupata faida kubwa zaidi. Ili kufanikiwa, mwenye biashara anahitaji kujua mambo yote yanayohusika katika kuendeleza biashara yake kwa akili ya kibiashara. Inahusisha kuchambua kila hatua ili kubaini gharama na faida.Vikundi vya uzalishaji vyahitaji wanachama kujihami kuzalisha kwa ajili ya kupata mapato. Mapato yanapatikana yafaa kutosha kugharamia gharama iliyohusika katika uzalishaji na kutengeza faida bora kwa wanachama. Kuleta biashara katika jamii kunahusisha: 1. Kuhakikisha kuwa biashara inatumia njia ya kibiashara katika ngazi zote ili kuwezesha mtazamo wa gharama chache- thamani bora kati ya wazalishaji, ili kuleta faida bora.
2. Wazalishaji wanaofanya utafiti rahisi wa soko ili kubaini nguvu zao na fursa za soko zilizopo. 3. Wazalishaji wanaofanya biashara walio na miongozo wazi ya uanachama na ugawaji wa wajibu na majukumu 4. Vikundi mbalimbali vya uzalishaji vinavyojiunganisha kutengeza biashara kubwa zinazojulikana tena kama vijiji vya kibiashara ili kuzalisha tosha kwa ajili ya masoko ya taasisi, rasmi na makubwa. 5. Kuanzisha miundo ya utawala ya vikundi vya uzalishaji. Kuendeleza Cluster za TIST kibiashara. Hii ni njia ya inayoongozwa na soko ambayo cluster kawaida za TIST zinaendelezwa kibiashara na kuwezeshwa kukidhi mahitaji ya masoko ya sekta binafsi na pia kuongeza ushiriki wa vijiji vya kibiashara katika minyororo ya thamani. Vijiji vinawezeshwa kufanya kazi kama viungo vya kibiashara ili kufikia uzalishaji mkubwa wa mashamba, kuzalisha thabiti, kuboresha mazao na kuleta vifaa kutoka nje na kufikia ufanisi. Inalenga: a. Kuhamasisha vijiji vya kijamii kufanya vikundi vya uzalishaji vya kibiashara (CPG). b. Kuunganisha wakulima wa vikundi vidogo na vijiji kuingia katika minyororo ya thamani. c. Kuongeza uwezo wa cluster kuwa wana soko wenye heshima. d. Kuongeza ushindani kati ya wenye mashamba madogo. Faida za kuendeleza Cluster kibiashara. Faida kubwa zinazotokana na kuifuatilia hii njia ni: a. Ukusanyaji, usafirishaji, usindikaji na uuzaji wa mazao wa pamoja ulio bora na fanisi. b. Msaada katika uzalishaji katika kilimo kwa wanachama kupitia usambazaji wa pembejeo za kilimo. c. Usambazaji wa teknolojia inayotumika kwa wanachama. d. Utoaji wa mikopo kwa wanachama kwa gharama za haraka kama karo, mazishi na pesa za hospitali kwagharama nafuu. e. Nafasi za ajira kupitia kujiajiri katika sekta hii. f. Uuzaji wa pamoja unaongeza mazao kwa hivyo kuongeza nafasi ya kuvuta wanunuzi zaidi. g. Uzalishaji wa kikataba kwa vikundi. Mradi wa kulima ndengu katika Cluster. Umeletewa na Jennifer Kithure KISWAHILI VERSION 5 h. Mipango sahihi ya kuweka pesa husaidia wanachama kupunguza usimamizi mbovu wa pesa kwa kikundi na kwa wanachama. i. Mipango ya kikundi kuhusu nafasi zinazowezekana za kibiashara. j. Vikundi vilivyojipanga huvuta wafadhili wa kusaidia miradi ya vikundi. Mabingwa wa ndengu katika cluster za TIST wapo katika cluster zote kumi na mbili zilizoanza kulima ndengu. Watasaidia katika uzalishaji, kukusanya mbegu na uuzaji. Hili litatendeka pamoja na ushauri na usaidizi wa Farm Concern International, ambao waliwafunza wabingwa kuhusu mambo yaliyotajwa katika makala haya. Majukumu ya mabingwa wa ndengu. I. Kutathmini mara kwa mara hali halisi ya uzalishaji wa ndengu na kuchunguza matatizo ya maslahi ya pamoja katika uwanja huu; II.
Kutayarisha ratiba ya uzalishaji itakayotumiwa na vikundi vya uzalishaji. III. Kuhakikisha uratibu wa juhudi na ushirikiano wa vitengo vya uzalishaji. IV. Kujadiriana na wamiliki hisa wengine kuhusu mada za kiufundi zinazohusu uzalishaji na uuzaji wa ndengu. V. Kutengeneza mpango wa uzalishaji na uuzaji wakishauriana na wazalishaji wengine VI. Kukuza ugawanaji wa wajibu wa usimamizi wa rasilimali na upangaji kati ya Nyanja tofauti za serikali, wakulima na wamiliki hisa wengine. VII. Kutoa miongozo juu ya maendeleo endelevu ya maliasili nay a kimwili kwa wakulima. Jua zaidi kuhusu ndengu leo! Kama cluster yako ipo katika eneo lililo nzuri kwa ukulima wa ndengu na iwapo una haja ya kuingia ili kumaliza njaa katika eneo letu na nchi yetu kwa ujumla- ongea na Jeniffer Kithure ili kupata maelezo zaidi; namba yake ni 0726319539. Na TIST tunakua, tunamaliza njaa na tunauza hewa safi. Katika TIST, sisi hupanda miti ili kujiunga na soko la hewa na kupata pesa kutokana na kuuza hewa chafu. Hata hivyo, faida zingine za miti ni kubwa! Zifuatazo ni faida chache ambazo sisi (na dunia yote) hufurahia:
• Miti utumika kama makazi asili ya mimea na wanyama wa aina nyingi mbali mbali. Huwapa wanyama pori wanaotafuta makazi mitini hisia ya faragha na usalama na kuwapa chakula. Kulinda bionuwai hufanya mashamba na sayari yetu kuwa na uzalishaji zaidi na kukataa ubadilikaji wa tabianchi na changamoto zinginezo.
• Miti huboresha ubora wa hewa na hupunguza uchafu ulio wa hatari. Miti hutoa hewa chafu ya kaboni na uchafu wa hewa kama dioksidi sulfuri, ozone na oksidi za nitrojeni. Kurudisha, inatupa oksijeni inayohitajika ili kuishi. ¾ Ubora wa ardhi kwa macho unaboreshwa kwa kupanda miti, ambayo nayo inaboresha hali ya maisha. Kijani cha miti huongeza rangi ya ardhi na huongeza urembo wa mazingira.
• Miti hudhibiti tabianchi kwa njia ya kuwastanisha madhara ya jua, upepo na mvua. Yaweza kusaidia kuzuia mafuriko, maporomoko ya ardhi na uharibifu wa upepo. Miti huwastanisha madhara ya mafuriko kwa kuruhusu maji ya mvua kuingia udongoni badala ya kupitia juu yake.
• Miti hupunguza mmomonyoko wa udongo. Mizizi ya miti hushika udongo ambao ungeoshwa na maji ya mvua na mafuriko. Miti pia husaidia kuboresha rutuba ya udongo. Udongo wenye rutuba huhamishia virutubisho kwa chakula, jambo ambalo huboresha afya ya binadamu.
• Miti hunyonya kelele. Uchafuzi wa kelele waweza kupunguzwa kwa njia ya kupanda miti mingine na mingine. Mahitaji ya maji masafi ya kunyua yaweza kufikiwa kupitia kupanda miti ya kiasili. Misitu na mimea hupunguza mwendo wa maji ya mvua na kuyaingiza udongoni. Mwendo ukipunguzwa, maji ya mvua yanaingia ardhini kujaza mashimo yaliyo chini ya ardhi ambayo tunategemea kwa matumizi yetu. Miti pia hufunikia mito, yakiyafanya maji kukaa baridi na kupunguza kupotea kwa maji kupitia uvukizi.
Miti hufanya mazingira kuwa bora kwetu sote. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Miti ya kiasiri hutupatia faida tofauti. Mwezi huu tunaangalia baadhi ya miti ya kienyeji ambayo ni ya manufaa na kukua kwa haraka. Kwenye poli miti hii hukua haraka ikiwa imekatwa au kuchomwa na moto. Jadiliana na walimu au vikundi vya cluster kuhusiana ma miti hii na hasa ile inayomea huku kwetu. Hagenia abyssinica, African redwood, muhooru Mbao yake ya rangi nyekundu inapendeza sana na imamea haraka kwa kufikia meter 20, Hagenia abyssinica ni mtu mzuri na unakua ukienda juu na pia unafanya vizuri mahali kuna mvua ya kima cha 1,000 to 1,500 mm kwa mwaka. Ina manufaa mingi kama matawi yake inatoa rutuba. Inatumika kama dawa. Pia inatumika kwa kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo. Muti mwenyewe unatoa kuni na makaa mazuri sana na pio mbao. Miti ya kienyenji inayokua haraka. By Christine Yankel Muti mwenywe unamea kutokana na mbegu yake. Haihitaji kunyunyizia dawa. Mbegu inamea kwa munda wa siku 10-20 na inamea kwa muda wa 40-60%. Ikipandwa na mimea mingine hakikicha umekata matawi ili mtu mwenyewe ukuwe ukienda juu. Macaranga kilimandscharica, mukuhakuha/ mukura Macaranga ni mtu unaokua haraka sana na unafanya vizuri sana na mimea mingine kama Kahawa ama madizi. Inafanya vizuri sana wakati kuna mvua ya kima cha 1,500 to 2,500 mm kwa mwaka. Kwa sababu ya ukuaji wa haraka wake, inazuia mmomonyoko wa udongo. Ni mzuri sana kwa kuni na kwa kujengea ukuta. Mbao yake ni nzuri sana kwa kujengea masanduku, meaza, viti na kadhalika. Mizizi yake inatumika kama dawa. Macaranga inamea kutokanan na mbegu yake macaranga. Haihitaji kuchungwa sana ndio ikue.
