I heard about TIST in 2008.After learning about the program, 

I eventually joined in 2009. My Small Group name is Kinguru- 2009KE153. One of the things that attracted me to TIST is encouragement to plant fruit trees. I realized I could get multiple benefits from fruits trees more than any other tree. In 2015, I embarked on avocado tree planting. Over the years, I have planted over 400 trees. I am proud of my efforts. I get paid carbon stipends from my avocado trees. Importantly, my avocado trees are now fetching me good income from sale of fruits. When I need to prune my avocado trees, I feed my animals with leaves and use stems for firewood. In my avocado garden, my wife plants kale vegetables, which she sells in nearby market. We feel strong financially today. We pay school fees for our children without difficulty. We are sufficiently able to meet our household budget from the avocado income, kale sales and carbon revenue. In TIST, we have benefited much from the trainings. We learnt about trees that can help to break wind. We planted Gravellia trees along the farm boundary. This has helped us in reducing too heavy wind into our farm. During drought, we prune Gravellia trees to feed our animals with the leaves. Equally, we get firewood from the branches. We would like to encourage TIST farmers not to miss Cluster meetings. Cluster meetings are the place of knowledge and empowerment. Kenneth Mutuma: My story with TIST. By Mary Gitonga,TIST Cluster Servant. We, Kwajebi TIST Cluster is one of the Clusters in Laikipia West. We joined TIST in 2008. To this day, we have 54 Small Groups, with 366 farmers participating. We are proud of our achievements with TIST. 

Our participation has led to planting of over 90,000 trees which we have kept alive. We are sure, without TIST trainings, we couldn’t have planted these trees. Our area being semi-arid, it was hard to keep trees alive before TIST. We had many challenges including high mortality rates of our trees occasioned by drought and grazing.When TIST came to our area we learnt Best Practices to overcome these challenges. We are today confident to set new goals in adding new trees. We also take this opportunity to thank TIST program for honouring their promise in regard to carbon revenue payments. Out of 54 Small Groups in our Cluster, 51 have received their Profit share payments.This is a huge celebration to us. We are grateful and also applaud our Cluster Servant, David Thuku, for attending to all Small Groups and making sure they meet both pre-payment and profit share eligibilities. We can now firmly say, TIST is our program. Our members have responded positively to TIST Trainings. For instance, Mr. John Kinga of 2008KE2718 is a champion in tree nurseries. Today, he has established a nursery with over 5,000 seedlings of mixed tree species. We also have fruit tree champions like Regina Njoki and Rahab Mumbi. They have planted plenty of orange trees, which they are now selling in local markets. Ndirangu Githogori of 2008KE474 is a beehive champion. He has established 100 beehives in his TIST Groves.

 At Kwajebi, we continue to adhere to TIST Best Practice of rotational and servant leadership. Our current Leaders are Francis Kahoi 0726273161(Cluster Leader); Mary Maina 0729452202 (Co-Leader)and the newly elected Accountability Personis Michael Maina 0711343723. If you would like to join us, kindly contact our leaders. We are happy to serve you, share with you things we have learned in TIST. Kwajebi TIST Cluster: Phenomenal Achievements. By David Thuku,TIST Desk Auditor. ENGLISH VERSION 3 M y name is Francis Musembi from TIST Mamba cluster, Machakos County. I belong to Mwendi Use Small Group. I am a pioneer member of TIST in our region.When we heard and learned about TIST in 2016, we immediately volunteered to talk about TIST in our village meetings, churches and in other forums where we got an opportunity. 

Many farmers got interested and we began recruiting and registering them in TIST. To encourage farmers to plant trees immediately after they join, we used the slogan, “Plant trees from the word “GO””. Because our area is a bit arid, we wanted farmers not to miss any rainy season to plant trees. TIST encouraged us during Cluster Trainings to plant mixed tree species. In my own farm, I have gravellier, casuarinas and mangoes just to mention a few. But the most important thing I learn about tree planting is spacing. Before TIST, I was planting tightly spaced hoping that those that will die will give space to others. But in reality, trees that died were in same space and those who survived were in another same space. This caused those that survived to compete for space, nutrients, sunlight etc. and therefore became very weak. In TIST, I learnt tree spacing is very important. It allows your tree to enjoy maximum sunlight for photosynthesis, reduce competition of water and nutrients and hence your tree grow strong and healthy. TIST encourages 2m by 2m for conventional trees and 3-4m spacing for fruit and nut trees. In my 7th year with TIST, I can’t regret or look back.This is the program we have been waiting for. I am sure we will grow and become successful with TIST. Francis Musembi: A Proud TIST Volunteer. 

By Josephine Muasya, TIST Cluster Servant. W hen TIST came to my village in 2015 in partnership with our major tea buyers Taylors, I learned what was not taught in the meetings - that one can plan for retirement with trees. I realized that very soon, I will need to give my tea bushes to my children as they settle with their families. Secondly, I realized with age, I may not be very productive with farming and other intense farm activities. The only thing that can save me and allow me to bequeath my assets to children is planting of trees.With small lands we have today, all of us can benefit if we can plan well. TIST has offered that opportunity. And it’s working. My children now earn from the tea bushes and my wife, and I get income from the trees. From the same piece of land! TIST trained us about the benefits of planting mixed tree species. In my farm, you will find fruit trees, nut trees, medicinal trees, fodder trees, and trees to prune for firewood. Fruits and nuts trees give us enough income for our daily household needs. Because TIST pays for all trees in our farm, we receive good income from carbon revenues. Today, we feel empowered and strong as family. We can face the future with confidence. Julius Mbaya: Planning my retirement with TIST. By Mary Gitonga,TIST Cluster Servant. ENGLISH VERSION 

4 A s TIST continues to expand both in high potential and dry areas, we face challenges in tree survival. In TIST, we always develop and share best practices, and this has always helped us in the TIST family get good results. Below are some best practices that we can try in tree planting in dry areas: 1. Site selection for your nursery is especially important in dry areas. Seedlings will need to be watered once or twice each day when they are young. Consider keeping the seedlings in a convenient area near your home so you can use household water for seedlings. Using a windbreak around the nursery will reduce water use and provide shade to protect young seedlings. 2. Early Preparation: Prepare the holes for tree planting possibly one month before the onset of the rain, the hole will crack, and this will help in easy water penetration when it rains. After the first downpour, plant the trees and fill in the hole starting with the topsoil and manure. 3. Try using rainwater harvesting techniques, like micro-basins, so that more water reaches trees. Trees may also better survive if planted near areas where water flows seasonally. 4. Mulching: Mulch after planting the trees.This will help in moisture retention as it reduces evaporation. Using a compost manure will add nutrients to soils, but rock mulching can also provide some benefit in rocky areas. 5. Agro forestry: Let us try to practice agro forestry. 

The survival rate of trees planted in farm areas is higher than those planted in grassland and bushy areas, since trees are better cared for and on better soil. 6. Choose species that grow well in dry areas. Often indigenous species from the surrounding area are strong survivors. Some examples include Melia, Acacia seyal, and Muuuku (Terminalia brownii). 7. Protect existing trees and allow them to regenerate. These established trees are strong and can often survive difficult seasons if we protect them. They provide an important source of locally adapted seeds as well as shade and other services. 8. Raised seedbeds or sunken seedbeds can help. When we establish the raised seedbed, we get seedlings with strong roots, so their survival rate is high. It may also help to keep seedlings a bit longer in the nursery so they can grow bigger and stronger. However, a sunken seedbed may also be a good choice since it shelters the seedlings and reduces drying. In this case, be careful to turn seedlings frequently so roots don’t grow into the ground below the tubes, damaging roots in transplanting. Let’s use the best practices we have and develop and share with others so that we can achieve more results and help TIST grow in our areas. TIST: Planting Trees in Dry Areas. T IST helps farmers participate in the carbon credit business. Farmers receive a share of 70% of profits from the sales. Profits are created through participating in the carbon business, which involves planting trees and keeping them alive for long term. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is one of the ‘greenhouse gases’, which captures the sun’s radiant heat inside the Earth’s atmosphere, helping to maintain the temperature of the Earth’s surface. 

The Earth is getting hotter and hotter which can be very damaging. This is called the Greenhouse Effect, which causes some areas of the world to experience more flooding, more drought or desertification. The burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas and the cutting down of trees produces carbon dioxide. Because growing trees absorb carbon dioxide, they help reduce the Greenhouse Effect. Governments and large industries in many countries want to reduce their emission of carbon dioxide, so that the Earth does not heat up as much. They have signed many different agreements, including the Paris Accords, which have every government in the world involved. TIST Quantifiers count and measure the trees we plant, so that CAAC can work out how much carbon dioxide the trees absorb. The unit of measurement is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide absorbed and sequestered in the living tree. In order to make a ‘carbon credit’, the TIST program must be “Validated” by an outside third party to assure that all international requirements are met. Then the amount of CO2 sequestered by the TIST trees is “Verified”, to be accurate. Companies and Governments can then buy those ‘carbon credits’, meaning they can pay for TIST trees to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions for them. We must have honest and accurate data on trees to sell these credits to a buyer. 

The carbon credit money can help groups to be even more productive, effective and start new projects. TIST groups get paid an advance of $20 for each 1000 trees each year (roughly 2.00 Kshs per live tree per year). When the carbon is sold, the TIST farmers will receive 70% of the profits. In addition to the greenhouse gas payments, the TIST farmers also benefit from other TIST activities that the Verifiers have determined are worth over 40 times as much as the prepayments to date. TIST Farmers - Lets plant more trees! Together we achieve greater benefits. TIST: Greenhouse Gas Business. ENGLISH VERSION 5 T IST farmers have responded to a global call to combat global warming and climate change. Many farmers have sought understanding through TIST seminars/trainings and at Cluster meetings, to learn and understand more about global warming, its effect on the climate, and mitigation approaches. We see many impacts of climate change today. Just to illustrate a few instances of impacts - floods, droughts and typhoons are more intense. Other notable illustrations are the gradual wearing off the glaciers at the peak of Mt. Kenya, unpredictable weather patterns that have resulted in crop failures in many areas, drying of water springs and water catchments areas, among many others. 

This month’s newsletter will share training notes from seminars, so that we all can understand global warming and climate change better. We will begin by defining each term and explaining it further and then learn how your trees play a significant role in mitigating the effects of global warming. What is Global Warming? Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth will lead to changes in rainfall patterns, stronger storms, a rise in sea level, crop failures, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. When scientists talk about the issue of climate change, their concern is about global warming caused by human activities and the extremes of climate and weather variability this brings about. Is the Earth getting warmer? Yes! The Earth has warmed by about 1ºC over the past 100 years. Over 95% of the world’s leading climate scientists say that things people do are making the Earth warmer, such as burning of fossil fuels including coal, petrol, and natural gas, and cutting forest and managing land poorly. What is the Greenhouse Effect? The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere, called greenhouse gases - like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, and methane - trap energy from the sun. Major sources of carbon are deforestation, gases emitted from industries, gases emitted from motor vehicles, gases emitted from burn of wood fuel or charcoal and burning of forests. 

What are the dangers of Global Warming? 

• Severe water stress in the arid and semiarid land areas would result in more areas becoming desert. 

• Increased spread of diseases like malaria.As areas become warmer, they become suitable breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and increasing risks of malaria infection. Many families and health institutions can be impacted, average life spans decline, and infant mortality rates rise. 

• Decreased agricultural production in many tropical and subtropical countries, especially countries in East Africa. Due to decreased rainfall and increased breeding of pests, due to increased warming, the production of food crops may decrease, and this results in poverty and hunger among many families and communities. 

• Higher worldwide food prices. As more farmers get less yields and food supplies become scarce, the prices increase because the demand is high, and supply is low. 

• Major changes in the productivity and composition of critical ecological systems, particularly forests. Water catchment areas in the mountains and forests continue to dry up. This will affect the ability to irrigate crops and will reduce stream flows necessary to keep dams and reservoirs replenished.This will reduce generation of hydroelectric power. Our industries, hospitals and other institutions that heavily rely on electricity will be severely affected.The supply of piped water to urban areas, as well as rural homes, will also be affected.

 • Tens of millions of people at risk from flooding and landslides, driven by projected increases in rainfall intensity and in coastal areas, rising sea levels. How can I prevent Global Warming? “I’m a farmer. 

I can grow crops and I can absorb carbon. I can sell my crops and I can sell my carbon.” Plant and care for trees! As mentioned above, carbon dioxide is the major cause of global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store it in the wood, roots, and soil as cellulose carbon. However, when trees are cut and burned, they release most of the carbon they had stored back to the air. TIST Farmers Combat Global Warming and Climate Change. ENGLISH VERSION 6 Did you know each tree could create a microclimate? Trees and their cover cool the surface of the earth. Feel the comfort of the shade of a tree. Notice that the soil below is moister than where the sun bakes it with no shade. When the ground stays cooler, the ground holds more moisture longer. This means that trees on your land will help improve the amount of water in your soil and help retain it for a longer time. This will help your crops and also even help the water users in your area. What are carbon credits? To make a TIST carbon credit requires three things: 1) A real and additional reduction in the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air; 2) A promise to keep the carbon out of the air for many years (usually 30); 3) A Verification by an independent third party that certifies that the actions have taken place according to all the rules, and the amounts of tonnes sequestered are accurate. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store it in the wood, roots, and soil.The amount of carbon taken from the air and stored can be measured and calculated, and then, when verified as accurate, this absorption of carbon dioxide can be sold on the world market as carbon credits. Buyers can purchase these credits to offset their carbon dioxide emissions. 

TIST is able to sell the carbon absorbed in trees, just like producers sell sugar and milk.With carbon, however, you don’t ship the tree to the market. Instead, the value is from the carbon taken out of the air, kept in the tree on your farm or forest, measured and reported. The trading of carbon credits can be done through electronic exchanges, or it can be arranged between people or companies directly. We have to meet the market rules and requirements. We cannot clear forest, or cut trees to plant trees, since this is bad for the environment. We have to commit to keep trees in a grove growing for the long-term, 30 years or more. We have to report data accurately. Once trees are planted, some measurements and calculations are made to measure the amount of carbon TIST farmers trees have absorbed. Note again, trees are never actually taken to the markets.They remain in the shambas and the longer they stay alive, the longer the period of receiving payments. So, the farmer keeps the trees, the fodder, the firewood, and the fruits and the nuts.The money that TIST makes selling carbon offsets creates a new source of income and is then shared with TIST Small Groups and used to support the costs of TIST, including training, quantification, and management. Do all trees absorb the same amount of carbon? No. Trees with wider circumference (more biomass) store more carbon that trees that are thin. Taller trees also absorb more carbon than short trees.Therefore, trees that are thick will bring more income from carbon credits. This means trees planted with good spacing have a chance of growing big and tall and earn more carbon income. They do not compete for soil nutrients and water as much as trees that are closely spaced. 

Therefore, in order to receive good payments out of our trees, it is important to plant them in a good enough spacing that will allow them to grow healthy, tall, and big.Thinning some of the trees to harvest firewood and keep the other trees growing well is usually the best way to manage your trees. Where/who are the buyers of carbon credits? Currently, carbon credits are sold on voluntary markets and in compliance markets.They may be certified in different ways, just as there are different brands and certifications for other products you buy and sell (like coffee, and organic coffee under different labels). TIST could market its carbon credits on the compliance or the voluntary market because they are of high quality. There are many different standards in these markets with different and ever-changing rules about tree planting, monitoring, and reporting that we must meet to sell carbon offsets. We use the highest quality standards for the Validation and Verification — the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards (CCBA). TIST has two basic types of buyers: The first is made up of people willing to give money to encourage people to plant trees. Examples include paying for tree planting projects to make a wedding, or a conference, carbon neutral. The second type is made up of companies in the US, Europe, Canada, and other industrial countries that are making voluntary commitments to reduce their GhG emissions, either because they are good stewards of the environment, or they are preparing for future regulatory requirements. TIST is very happy to have good quality carbon credits, and to be able to supply many different customers. Published by TIST-Kenya.

Taara mithemba iria igakura bwega ndene ya ntuura injumu. Miti ya gintwirekuuma kiri ntuura iria ithiurukite niumbaga gutuura. Mng’uanano imwe ni Melia, Acacia seyal, na Muuuku (Terminalia brownii). 7. Menyeera miti iria irio na umitikirie iciarane. Miti iji irio irina inya na niumbaga gukurukira mbura injumu twamikaria. Niejanaga kiumo kia bata kia mbeu cia gintwire amwe na kirundu na mantu jangi. 8. Minanda itiritie kana injiri no itethie. Riria twambia minanda itithitue, nituonaga miti irina miti imiriku na kwou igatuura. No itethie kinya gwika miti munandene igita riraja nikenda inenea nkuruki na igia inya. Indi minanda ya kwinjira no ithirwe iri imiega niuntu nikunikagira miti na ikanyia kuuma. Aja, menyeera kugaruria miti o nyuma ya igita nikenda miri itigakure itonya muthetune rungu rwa mubuko, na kwou igitaria miiri igita ria kuthamia. Tutumireni mitire iria miega buru iria turinayo, na tuthithie na kugaana na bangi nikenda tukinyira maciara jamaingi na tutethia TIST gukura ndene ya ntuura cietu. TIST: Uandi miti ndene ya ntuura injumu. M urandi wa TIST ni utethagirira arimi gutonya kiri biashara ya Carbon Credit. Arimi nibagwataga baita ya kiwango gia 70 kiri 100 kuumania na wendia wa Carbon. Baita iji yonekaga kukurukira kurita ngugi ya Carbon jayo kuanda miti na kumiika moyo kagiita gakanene. Kuithia kwa into bimwe ta beteroli, makara na bingi nigwitaga ruugo rwa carbon dioxide. Niuntu miti nijukagia carbon dioxide, niitethagia kunyiyia untu bubu bugwitwa “greenhouse effect”.Thirikari na kambuni inene ndene ya nthiguru inyingi nicikwenda kunyiyia kuthithua kwa carbon dioxide nikenda nthiguru itagie mwanki jumwingi. Atarimiti ba cluster nibataraga na kuthima miti iria tuandaga nikenda TIST yumba gutara ni ruugo rung’ana rwa Carbon miti iu ikujukia. Carbon iu ithimagwa na gintu gigitwa “carbon credits”, nan i umwe na kilo ngiri imwe cia ruugo rwa carbon ruria TIST: Biashara ya ruugo ruruthuku. rujukitue. Kambuni na thirikari riu nocigure carbon credits iji kuuga no iririire miti nikenda inyie uriti bwa ruugo rwa carbon. No mwanka twithirwe tujukitie mantu jamma na jario jegie miti nikenda tuumba kwendie credit iji cia carbon kiri muguri. Mbeca kuumania na kwendia guku no itethie ikundi kuumba kuthithia mantu jamaingi nkuruki, kurita ngugi uria bibati na kwambiria miradi imieru. Ikundi bia TIST nibiriiagwa mirongo iiri kiri o miti igana o mwaka (ni akui umwe na shilingi 1.8 kiri o muti juria juri mwoyo o mwaka). Mbeca iji cia ruugo ti baita yonka iria ikundi bibinini bionaga nontu miti iri na baita maita ikumi gwita mirongo inna nkuruki ya mbeca iria ciumanagia na biashara iji ya kwendia ruugo.

KIKUYU VERSION 2 N jitago Kenneth Mutuma, murimi wa TIST kuuma Tharu Cluster, Meru County. Ndaigwiire uhoro wa TIST mwaka wa 2008.Thutha wa guthomithio maundu ma murandi, ngiyandikithia mwaka wa 2009. Ritwa ria gakundi gakwa I Kinguru- 2009KE153. Undu uria wanguciriirie muno kuingira TIST niundu wa uhandi wa miti ya matunda. Nindathomithirio ngimenya ati no ngie na faida nyingi kuuma kuri miti ya matunda gukira miti ingi yoothe. Kuri mwak wa 2015, ni ndambiriirie kuhand miti ya Avacado. Kuuma hindi iyo, nihandite makiria ya miti 400. Ningeneire wira wakwa. Nindihagwo mbeca cia carbon. Na muno makiria, miti ino ya Avado ni irahe mbeca kumanagia na wendi wa makondobia. Hindi iria ndirahurura miti yake, mahuti mayo niheaga mahiu makwa na ngahuthira honge icio ta ngu. Thiinie wa muganda wakwa wa makondobia, mutumia wakwa ni ahandite thukuma iria endagia thoko-ini cia guuku gukuhi. Umuthi uyu nituraigua twina uhoti Munene wa mbaca. Niturahota guthomithia ciana ciitu wega tutari na uritu. Ona niturahota gukorwo na mbeca njega cia mahuthiro ma mucii kumanagia na mbeca cia makondobia, 

cia thukuma na cia carbon. Oo turi TIST, nituthomete miti iria ingihoota kugiriria huho. Nituhandite miti ya mibariti mihakaini ya mugunda witi. Miti ino niututeithitie kunyihia ruhuho runene. Hindi ya riua, nituhururaga miti ya gravellia na tukahe mahuti mahiu maitu. Ona tugacooka tukagia ngu. Nitukwendethia arimi a TIST matikagage guthii micemanio ya Cluster. Micemanio ino nikuo tukugia na ugi na twiyake. I thui, Kwajebi TIST Cluster, tukoragwo Laikipia West. Twaingirire TIST mwaka wa 2008. Gukinyagia umuthi, twina ikundi 54 na arimi 366. Twina gikeno ni maundu maria tukinyaniirie twi TIST. Gukorwo twi TIST nituhandite makiria ya miti 90,000 iria iri muoya nginya riu. Twin ana ma, tig ani urutani mwega wa TIST, tutingihandite miti ino yoothe. Itura riitu ni kundu kwaraga, na mbere TIST yukite, twari na kahinda karitu kuhonokia miti twahanda. Twari na mathina maingi maria matumaga miti itu ikue hamwe na kuriithio. Hindi iria TIST yokire, nitwathomire njira njega ciakuhurana na mathina maya. Umuthi uyu twina umiriru ati no tukorwo na itanya ria kuhinga ria kuhanda miti. Nitukwenda kuuoya kamweke gaka gucokeria murandi wa TIST ngatho ni kuhingia kiriganirwo hari marihi ma carbon. Hari ikundi ciitu 54, ikundi 51 niciamukirite marihi ma faida ya carbon. Uyu ni ukunguiri Munene hari ithui. 

Nitugucokiria Cluster Servant witi David Thuku niundu wa gutarira ikundi ciitu miti kahinda karia kagiriire na gutigirira ikundi ciitu niciahingia maundu maria marendekana hari urihi wa faida ya carbon kana warubanji. Riu no tuge na kinyi, TIST ni mradi witu. Amemba ni mayukitie ithomo cia TIST na njira njega. Kwa ngerekano, Muthuri ti John Kinga wa 2008KE2718 ni njorua ya nathari ya miti. Umuthi yuyu ena miti ngurani makiria ya 5,000 nathari-ini yake. Twina njorua cia miti ya matunda nanio Regina Njoki na Rahab Mumbi. Mahanditi miiti miingi ya macungwa iia riu marendia matunda thoko. Ndirangu Githogori wa 2008KE474 ni njorua ya miatu. Ena miatu makiria ya 100. Turi Kwajebi, nituthiite na mbere ya kurumirira utongoria wa utungata na muthiururukano.

KIKUYU VERSION 3 R itwa riakwa ni Francis Musembi kuuma Cluster ya Mamba, Machakos County. Ndi wa gakundi ka Mwendi Useo Small Group. Ndi mwambiriria wa TIST ituraini riitu. Hindi iria ndaiguire na ngithoma uhoro wa TIST mwaka wa 2016, nitwambiriirie kwirutira gutheremia uhoro wa TIST maturaini maitu kihitukira micemanio ya matura, makanithaini na micemanio ngurani kuri twagiaga na kamweke. Arimi aingi ni maguciriirio na tukiambiriria kumandikithia murandi-ini wa TIST. Nigetha kuhe hinya arimi nigetha mambiririe kuhanda miti oo hindi iyo maingira TIST, twahuthagira ciuogo ici.“ Handa miti kuuma kiugo “ Ambiriria”. Tondu gwitu ni kundu kwaraga, nitwendaga arimi mahandage miti hindi yothe kwina mbura. TIST niyatuthomithirie tuhande miti mithemba ngurani. Nii mugunda-ini wakwa nihandite miti ya mibariti, casurina, maembe na ingi mingi. Undu uria wa bata thomete ni utigithania wa miti hindi ya kuhanda. 

Mbere ya TIST, ndahandaga miti ikuhaniriirie muno ngiihoka ati iria itakagwata ni ikahee iria ya gwata spacing ya kuigana. Na undu uria uhanikaga ni ati miti igwataga handu hamwe nah aria handi igakua. Iria ya gwata, igagikorwo inyitanite muno na igakorwo itakwona riu ria kuigana, igatharana maai na irio na koguo ikaga gukura wega. TIST niyathomithirie spacing ya 2m na 2m hari miti ya ng una 3-4 m kwa miti ya matunda na makandamia. Riu yuyu ni mwaka wa mugwanja ndi TIST. Ndingirira kana kurora thutha.TIST ni murandi uria twatuire twetereire. Ndina mwihoko ni tuguthii na mbere na gukura na kugacira twi TIST. H indi iria TIST yokire ituraini riitu mwaka wa 2015 inyitaniire na aguri a chai Taylors, ni ndathomire maundu maria tutathomithirio micemanio-ini – ati mundu no abange retire yake na miti. Ni ndakuukiirwo ati no hote kuhee ciana ciakwa machani negethe mahote kwambiriria family ciao. Oo hau ngimenya ati, kuringana na miaka, matuku meguuka, nongorwo itari na hinya wa mawira maritu wa mugunda. Undu uria ungindeithia na hoote kugaira ciana ciakwa indo ciakwa ni kuhanda miti. Ona twina tumigunda tunini, notuhote guteithika tungibanga wega. TIST ni ituhete kamweke kau. Na niturarutithia wira. Ciana ciakwa riu nimaragia na mbeca kuuma wendia wa chai, nan ii na mutumia wakwa tukagia na mbeca kumanagia na miti. Oo kuuma mugunda umwe! TIST niituthomithitie uguni wa kuhanda miti ya mithemba ngurani. Mugunda-ini wakwa ni ugukora miti ya matunda, ya dawa, ya kuhe mahiu, ya ngu. Miti ya matunda na mbugu niratuhe mbeca cia kuigana cia matumiro ma omuthenya. Tondu TIST irihaga miti yothe iria tuhandite mugunda-ini witu, nitwamukiraga mbeca cia kuigana kumanagia na wonjoria wa carbon.

KISWAHILI VERSION 2 J ina langu ni Kenneth Mutuma, mkulima wa TIST kutoka Nguzo ya Tharu, Kaunti ya Meru. Nilisikia kuhusu TIST mwaka wa 2008. Baada ya kujifunza kuhusu programu, hatimaye nilijiunga mwaka wa 2009. Jina la Kikundi Changu Kidogo ni Kinguru2009KE153. Moja ya mambo yaliyonivutia kwa TIST ni kuhimizwa kupanda miti ya matunda. Niligundua ningeweza kupata faida nyingi kutoka kwa miti ya matunda kuliko mti mwingine wowote. Mnamo 2015, nilianza kupanda miti ya parachichi. Kwa miaka mingi, nimepanda zaidi ya miti 400. Ninajivunia juhudi zangu. Ninalipwa posho za kaboni kutoka kwa miti yangu ya parachichi. Muhimu zaidi, miti yangu ya parachichi sasa inaniletea mapato mazuri kutokana na mauzo ya matunda. Ninapohitaji kupogoa miti yangu ya parachichi, mimi hulisha wanyama wangu kwa majani na kutumia mashina kwa kuni. Katika bustani yangu ya parachichi, mke wangu hupanda mboga za kale, ambazo yeye huuza katika soko la karibu. Tunajisikia nguvu za kifedha leo. Tunalipa ada za shule kwa watoto wetu bila shida. Tuna uwezo wa kutosha wa kukidhi bajeti ya kaya yetu kutoka kwa mapato ya parachichi, mauzo ya kale na mapato ya kaboni. Katika TIST, tumefaidika sana kutokana na mafunzo. Tulijifunza kuhusu miti ambayo inaweza kusaidia kuvunja upepo. Tulipanda miti ya Gravellia kwenye mpaka wa shamba. Hii imetusaidia katika kupunguza upepo mkali kwenye shamba letu. Wakati wa ukame, tunakata miti ya Gravellia ili kulisha wanyama wetu kwa majani. Kwa usawa, tunapata kuni kutoka kwa matawi. Tungependa kuwahimiza wakulima wa TIST wasikose mikutano ya Nguzo. Mikutano ya vikundi ni mahali pa maarifa na uwezeshaji. S isi, Kundi la TIST la Kwajebi ni mojawapo ya Nguzo huko Laikipia Magharibi. Tulijiunga na TIST mwaka wa 2008. Hadi leo, tuna Vikundi Vidogo 54, huku wakulima 366 wakishiriki. Tunajivunia mafanikio yetu na TIST. Ushiriki wetu umepelekea kupanda miti zaidi ya 90,000 ambayo tumeihifadhi hai.

 Tuna uhakika, bila mafunzo ya TIST, hatukuweza kupanda miti hii. Eneo letu likiwa nusu kame, ilikuwa vigumu kuweka miti hai kabla ya TIST. Tulikuwa na changamoto nyingi ikiwa ni pamoja na viwango vya juu vya vifo vya miti yetu vilivyosababishwa na ukame na malisho. TIST ilipokuja katika eneo letu tulijifunza Mbinu Bora za kushinda changamoto hizi. Leo tuna uhakika wa kuweka malengo mapya katika kuongeza miti mipya. Pia tunachukua fursa hii kuushukuru mpango wa TIST kwa kutimiza ahadi yao kuhusu malipo ya mapato ya kaboni. Kati ya Vikundi Vidogo 54 katika Kundi letu, 51 vimepokea malipo yao ya hisa za Faida. Hii ni sherehe kubwa kwetu. Tunashukuru na pia tunampongeza Mtumishi wetu wa Kundi, David Thuku, kwa kuhudhuria Vikundi vyote Vidogo na kuhakikisha vinatimiza masharti ya malipo ya awali na ugavi wa faida. Sasa tunaweza kusema kwa uthabiti,TIST ni programu yetu. Wanachama wetu wameitikia vyema Mafunzo ya TIST. Kwa mfano, Bw. John Kinga wa 2008KE2718 ni bingwa katika vitalu vya miti. Leo, ameanzisha kitalu chenye miche zaidi ya 5,000 ya aina za miti mchanganyiko. Pia tuna mabingwa wa miti ya matunda kama Regina Njoki na Rahab Mumbi. 

Wamepanda miti mingi ya michungwa, ambayo sasa wanaiuza katika masoko ya ndani. Ndirangu Githogori wa 2008KE474 ni bingwa wa mizinga ya nyuki.Ameanzisha mizinga 100 ya nyuki katika TIST Groves yake. Kwajebi, tunaendelea kuzingatia Mbinu Bora ya TIST ya uongozi wa mzunguko na watumishi. Viongozi wetu wa sasa ni Francis Kahoi 0726273161(Cluster Leader); Mary Maina 0729452202 (Kiongozi Mwenza)na Mhusika mpya wa Uwajibikaji Michael Maina 0711343723. Ikiwa ungependa kujiunga nasi, tafadhali wasiliana na viongozi wetu. Tunafurahi kukuhudumia, kushiriki nawe mambo ambayo tumejifunza katika TIST. Kenneth Mutuma: Hadithi yangu na TIST. Na Mary Gitonga, Mtumishi wa Nguzo ya TIST. Nguzo ya TIST ya Kwajebi: Mafanikio ya Kubwa. Na David Thuku, Mkaguzi wa Dawati la TIST. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 J ina langu ni Francis Musembi kutoka kundi la TIST Mamba, Kaunti ya Machakos. Mimi ni wa Mwendi Use Small Group. Mimi ni mwanzilishi wa TIST katika eneo letu. Tuliposikia na kujifunza kuhusu TIST mwaka wa 2016, tulijitolea mara moja kuzungumza kuhusu TIST katika mikutano yetu ya kijiji, makanisa na katika vikao vingine ambapo tulipata fursa. Wakulima wengi walipendezwa na tukaanza kuwasajili na kuwasajili katika TIST. Ili kuwahimiza wakulima kupanda miti mara tu baada ya kujiunga, tulitumia kauli mbiu, “Panda miti kutokana na neno “NENDA”. Kwa sababu eneo letu ni kame kidogo, tulitaka wakulima wasikose msimu wowote wa mvua kupanda miti. 

TIST ilituhimiza wakati wa Mafunzo ya Nguzo kupanda miti mchanganyiko. Katika shamba langu mwenyewe, nina changarawe, casuarina na maembe kwa kutaja machache tu. Lakini jambo muhimu zaidi ninalojifunza kuhusu upandaji miti ni nafasi. Kabla ya TIST, nilikuwa nikipanda kwa nafasi nikitumaini kwamba wale watakaokufa watatoa nafasi kwa wengine. Lakini kwa kweli, miti iliyokufa ilikuwa katika nafasi moja na wale walionusurika walikuwa katika nafasi nyingine. Hii ilisababisha wale walionusurika kushindana kwa nafasi, virutubisho, mwanga wa jua n.k na hivyo kuwa dhaifu sana. Katika TIST, nilijifunza kutenganisha miti ni muhimu sana. Huruhusu mti wako kufurahia mwanga wa jua zaidi kwa usanisinuru, kupunguza ushindani wa maji na virutubisho na hivyo mti wako kukua na kuwa na nguvu na afya.TIST inahimiza 2m kwa 2m kwa miti ya kawaida na umbali wa 3-4m kwa miti ya matunda na kokwa. Katika mwaka wangu wa 7 na TIST, siwezi kujutia au kuangalia nyuma. Huu ndio mpango ambao tumekuwa tukingojea. Nina hakika tutakua na kufanikiwa na TIST. T IST ilipokuja kijijini kwangu mwaka wa 2015 kwa ushirikiano na wanunuzi wetu wakuu wa chai Taylors, nilijifunza kile ambacho hakikufundishwa kwenye mikutano - kwamba mtu anaweza kupanga kustaafu na miti. Niligundua kuwa hivi karibuni, nitahitaji kuwapa watoto wangu vichaka vya chai wakati wanatulia na familia zao. Pili, nilitambua kwa umri, huenda nisiwe na tija sana katika kilimo na shughuli nyingine kali za kilimo. Kitu pekee ambacho kinaweza kuniokoa na kuniruhusu kuwarithisha watoto mali zangu ni kupanda miti. Kwa ardhi ndogo tuliyo nayo leo, sote tunaweza kufaidika ikiwa tunaweza kupanga vizuri. TIST imetoa fursa hiyo. Na inafanya kazi. Watoto wangu sasa wanapata mapato kutokana na vichaka vya chai na mke wangu, na mimi hupata mapato kutokana na miti. Kutoka kwa kipande hicho cha ardhi! TIST ilitufunza kuhusu faida za kupanda miti mchanganyiko. Katika shamba langu, 

utapata miti ya matunda, miti ya kokwa, miti ya dawa, miti ya malisho na miti ya kukatia kuni. Miti ya matunda na karanga hutupatia mapato ya kutosha kwa mahitaji yetu ya kila siku ya kaya. Kwa sababu TIST hulipia miti yote katika shamba letu, tunapokea mapato mazuri kutokana na mapato ya kaboni. Leo, tunahisi kuwezeshwa na kuwa na nguvu kama familia. Tunaweza kukabiliana na wakati ujao kwa ujasiri. Francis Musembi: Mjitolea wa kujitolea wa TIST. Na Josephine Muasya, Mtumishi wa Nguzo ya TIST. Julius Mbaya: Kupanga kustaafu kwangu na TIST. Na Mary Gitonga, Mtumishi wa Nguzo ya TIST. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 J insi TIST inavyoendelea kutamba katika maeneo yaliyo na uwezo mkuu na makavu, inakumbana na changamoto katika kuishi kwa miti. Katika TIST sisi huanzisha na kugawana mazoezi au njia bora za kufanya mambo, na hili limetusaidia kila wakati katika familia ya TIST kupata matokeo mazuri. Hapa chini ni njia chache bora tunazoweza kujaribu tunapopanda miti katika maeneo kavu: 1. Uteuzi wa mahali pa kuanzisha kitalu chako. Miche itahitaji kuwekewa maji mara moja au mbili kila siku ikiwa michanga. Fikiria kuweka miche yako karibu na nyumba ili uweze kutumia maji yanayotumika nyumbani kuimwagia. Kutumia miti ya kupunguza upepo kutapunguza matumizi ya maji na itaipa miche yako michanga kivuli. 2. Maandalizi ya mapema: Andaa mashimo ya kupanda miti mwezi mmoja kabla ya mvua kuanza ikiwezekana, shimo litapasukapasuka na ili litasaidia maji kuingia udongoni kwa urahisi kunaponyesha. Mvua wa kwanza ukishaanguka, panda miti na ujaze shimo kwanza na udongo wa juu halafu mbolea. 3. Jaribu kutumia njia za kushika maji ya mvua ili maji mengi zaidi yaweze kufikia miti. 

Miti pia itaweza kuishi ukiipanda karibu na maji yaliyopo kila msimu. 4. Kufunika ardhi: Funika ardhi baada ya kupanda miti. Hili litasaidia kuzuia kupotea kwa maji kwa sababu kunapunguza kubebwa kwa maji na jua. Kutumia boji kutaongeza virutubisho udongoni, lakini kufunika kwa mawe pia kwaweza kuleta faida zingine katika maeneo yenye mawe. 5. Kilimo mseto: Tujaribu kilimo mseto. Kiwango cha kuishi cha miti iliyopandwa katika mashamba ni juu zaidi ya iliyopandwa misituni na vichakani kwa sababu itatunzwa na ipo katika udongo bora. 6. Chagua aina inayokua vizuri katika maeneo kavu. Mara nyingi miti ya kiasili iliyotoka eneo linalozingira huweza kuishi san asana. Mifano ni Melia, Acacia seyal, na Muuuku (Terminalia brownii). 7. Linda miti iliyopo na uiruhusu kuzaa. Miti hii iliyopo ni yenye nguvu na yaweza kuishi katika misimu iliyo na ugumu tunapoilinda. Inatupa chanzo la mbegu zilizozoea eneo hilo pamoja na kivuli na vinginevyo. 8. Vitalu vilivyoinuka vyaweza kusaidia. Tunapoanzisha vitalu hivi, tunapata miche yenye mizizi yenye nguvu kwa hivyo itaishi.Vinaweza pia kusaidia kuweka miche kwa muda mrefu zaidi katika kitalu ili iwe mikubwa na yenye nguvu. Hata hivyo, vitalu vilivyochimbiwa vyaweza kuwa chaguo nzuri kwa sababu vinafunikia miche na vinapunguza kufa.

 Hapa, kuwa mwangalifu na ugeuze miche kila baada ya wakati Fulani ili mizizi isimee na kuingia udongoni. Tutumieni njia bora zaidi tulizonazo, na tutengeze na kugawana na wengine ili tuweze kufikia matokeo mengi na kusaidia TIST kukua katika maeneo yetu. TIST: Kupanda miti katika maeneo kavu. M iti inayokua hunyonya gesi ya kaboni kwa njia ya kutengeneza chakula. Kaboni dioksidi ni mojawapo ya ‘gesi chafu’ (greenhouse gases) ambazo huteka joto la jua lililopo katika anga ya dunia na kusaidi kudumisha hali ya joto katika uso wa dunia. Wanasayansi wengine wanafikiri kuwa dunia inazidi kuwa na joto zaidi na zaidi, joto ambalo lweza kuwa lenye kudhuru sana. Jambo hili huitwa athari ya hewa chafu (greenhouse effect), ambayo hufanya maeneo mengine kupanda mafuriko zaidi, ukame zaidi au kuenea kwa janga. Kuchomwa kwa ngataa kama mafuta, makaa yam awe na gesi ya kiasili hutoa kaboni dioksidi. Kwa sababu miti huchukua kaboni dioksidi kutoka hewani, inasaidia kupunguza athari za gesi chafu. Serikali na viwanda vikubwa katika nchi nyingi wanataka kupunguza utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi ili dunia isizidishe joto sana. Maqwantifaya wa TIST huhesabu na kupima miti tunayopanda ili TIST ifanye kazi ya kuhesabu ni kiasi kipi cha kaboni dioksidi kinachonyonywa na miti. Kipimo chake huitwa ‘carbon credit’ (kadi za kaboni) na ni sawa na kunyonya kilo elfu moja za kaboni dioksidi. Makampuni na serikali zaweza kununua kadi hizi kumaanisha wanaweza kulipia miti ili ipunguze utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi. 

Lazima tuwe na data yenye kuaminika na sahihi kuhusu miti ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni kwa mnunuaji. Pesa kutokana na kuuza kaboni hii zaweza kusaidia vikundi kuzalisha zaidi, kufanya kazi zaidi na kuanza miradi mipya.Vikundi vya TIST hulipwa dolla ishirini kwa kila miti elfu moja iliyo hai kila mwaka (takriban shilingi 1.8 kwa kila mti hulio hai kila mwaka). Malipo ya gesi chafu si faida ya kipekee kikundi kidogo hupata kwa sababu miti ina thamani mara kumi hadi arobaini kuliko pesa inayopata kutokana na biashara ya kaboni. Wakulima wa TIST – tupandeni miti zaidi! Pamoja tufikie faida kubwa zaidi. TIST: Biashara ya hewa chafu. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 Wakulima katika TIST wapambana na ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Wakulima katika TIST wameitikia mwito wa ulimwengu wa kupambana na ongezeko la joto na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Wakulima wengi wametafuta kuelewa kupitia semina/mafunzo ya

 TIST na katika mikutano ya cluster ili kusoma na kuelewa mengi zaidi kuhusu kuongezeka kwa joto, athari zake kwa tabianchi na mbinu za kukabiliana nalo. Tunaona athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi leo. Ili kuonyesha matukio kadhaa ya athari hizi, mafuriko ya Elnino ya mwaka 1998 yaliyovuruga karibu nchi yote na ukame mrefu uliofuatilia, na upepo mkali wa mwaka 2004 sana sana uliongezewa na ongezeko la joto duniani.Viashiria vingine mashuhuri ni kupunguzika kwa barafu katika kilele cha mlima Kenya, hali ya anga isiyo na utaratibu na ambayo imesababisha kuharibika kwa mazao katika maeneo mengi, kukauka kwa chemichemi na vyanzo vya maji, pamoja na mengine mengi. Jarida la mwezi huu linaangazia mafunzo kutoka semina ili sote tuelewe ongezeko la joto duniani na mabadiliko ya tabianchi. Tutaanza kwa kuelezea kila neon na kulieleza zaidi na pia tujue jinsi miti yako ina jukumu kubwa katika kukabiliana na athari za ongezeko la joto duniani. Ongezeko la joto duniani ni nini? Ongezeko la joto duniani ni ongezeko wastani la joto duniani, ambalo huleta mabadiliko katika tabianchi. Dunia yenye joto zaidi yaweza kusababisha mabadiliko katika mvua, dhoruba kali zaidi, kuongezeka kwa maji baharini, kuharibika kwa mimea, na athari kadhaa kwa mimea, wanyama pori na wanadamu. Wanasayansi wanapoongea kuhusu suara la mabadiliko ya tabianchi na katika hali ya anga, wasi wasi yao huelekezwa kwa ongezeko la joto linalotokana na kazi za binadamu na utofauti katika tabianchi na hali ya anga unaoletwa na jambo hili. Je, joto katika dunia linaongezeka? Ndio! Dunia imeongezeka joto zaidi ya digrii moja katika miaka mia moja iliyopita. Wengi wa wanasayansi wanaoongoza katika dunia hufikiri kuwa shughuli za binadamu hufanyanya dunia kuongezeka joto, kama kuchoma makaa yam awe, petrol na gesi ya kiasilia na kukata misitu na usimamizi mbaya wa ardhi. Greenhouse Effect ni nini? Athari hii ni kuongezeka kwa joto duniani kutakotokana na uwepo wa gesi Fulani katika hewa, zinazoitwa gesi chafu, kama, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide, na methane ambazo hutega nishati kutokana na jua.Vyanzo vikuu vya kaboni ni ukataji wa misitu, 

gesi kutokana na viwanda, gesi kutokana na magari, gesi kutokana na kuchoma miti au makaa na kuchoma misitu. Hatari za ongezeko la joto duniani ni zipi? § Uhaba wa maji mkali katika maeneo kame au yanayopakana na maeneo kame waweza kusababisha maeneo zaidi kuwa na jangwa. § Ongezeko la kuenea kwa magonjwa kama malaria. Jinsi maeneo yanavokuwa yenye joto zaidi, yanakuwa mwafaka zaidi kama maeneo ya kuzalisha ya mbu, na kuongeza uwezekano wa kupata malaria. Familia na hospitali nyingi zaweza kuathirika, wastani ya miaka ya kuishi kupungua, na ongezeko la vifo vya watoto wadogo. § Kupunguka kwa uzalishaji katika nchi za kitropiki na kisub-tropiki, hasa nchi katika Afrika Mashariki. Kwa sababu ya mvua iliyopunguka na ongezeko la uzalishaji wa wadudu kwa sababu ya joto, uzalishaji wa chakula waweza kupungua na ili husababisha umaskini na njaa katika familia na jamii nyingi. § Gharama zilizoongezeka za chakula katika ulimwengu mzima. Jinsi wakulima wengi watakavyopata mazao chache na chakula kuwa adimu, ndivyo bei ya chakula itakavyoongezeka kwa sababu mahitaji ni mengi na usambazaji ni kidogo. § Mabadiliko makubwa katika uzalishaji na muundo wa mifumo muhimu ya mazingira hasa misitu. Maeneo ya vyanzo vya maji katika milima na misitu huendelea kukauka. Hili litaathiri uwezo wa kumwagilia mazao maji na kupunguza maji katika mikondo ya maji yanayohitajika kujaza mabwawa na hifadhi za maji. Hili litapunguza kutengenezwa kwa umeme. Viwanda, mahospitali na taasisi zinginezo zetu ambazo kwa kiwango kikubwa hutegemea umeme zitaathirika sana. Usambazaji wa maji ya paipu katika maeneo ya mijini nay ale ya vijijini pia utaathirika. § 

Makumi ya mamilioni ya watu watawekwa katika hatari ya mafuriko na maporomoko ya ardhi, yanayoletwa na makadirio ya ongezeko la uzito wa mvua na katika maeneo ya bahari, ongezeko la viwango vya maji. Nawezaje kuzuia ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni? "Mimi ni mkulima. Ninaweza kulima mazao na ninaweza kunyonya kaboni.Ninaweza kuuza mazao yangu na ninaweza kuuza kaboni yangu.” KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Panda na uichunge miti! Kama ilivyotajwa hapo juu, carbon dioxide ni moja ya gesi zinazoleta ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni. Miti hunyonya gesi hii kutoka kwa hewa inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika mbao, mizizi na udongo kama kaboni selulosi. Hata hivyo, miti inapokatwa na kuchomwa, huachilia kaboni iliyokuwa imeweka. Unajua kuwa ila mti waweza kutengeneza tabianchi ndogo mahali ulipo? Miti na bima yake hupunguza joto lililo katika uso wa dunia. Hisi faraja ya kivuli cha mti. Tambua kwamba udongo ulio chini yake huwa na maji zaidi kulika ya udongo ulio palipo na jua pasipo na kivuli. Udongo unapokaa ukiwa baridi, huwa unaweka maji muda mrefu zaidi. Ili lamaanisha kuwa miti katika ardhi yako itasaidia kuongeza kiasi cha maji katika udongo wako na pia itasaidia kuweka maji udongoni kwa muda mrefu zaidi. Hili litasaidia mimea yako na pia kusaidia watu wanaotumia maji katika eneo lako. Kadi za kaboni ni nini? Ili kutengeneza kadi ya kaboni wahitaji vitu vitatu: 1) Punguzo la kweli na la kuongeza la kaboni dioksidi iliyo katika hewa; 

2) Ahadi ya kuweka kaboni hiyo mbali na hewa kwa muda mrefu; 3) Ukaguzi unaofanywa na chama tofauti kinachothibitisha kwamba shughuli zimefanyika kulingana na mujibu wa sheria. Miti hunyonya kaboni dioksidi kutoka kwa hewa wakati inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika mbao, mizizi na udongo. Kiasi cha kaboni kilichochukuliwa kutoka kwa hewa hupimwa na kuhesabiwa, halafu, kinapothibitishwa kuwa sahihi, kaboni hii iliyonyonywa yaweza kuuzwa katika soko la ulimwengu kama kadi za kaboni. Wanunuzi waweza kununua kadi hizi kukabiliana na kaboni wanayoachilia kwa hewa. TIST huweza kuuza kaboni iliyonyonywa na miti kama wazalishaji wanavyouza sukari na maziwa. Hata hivyo, katika kaboni, hauhitaji kutuma mti sokoni. Badalake, thamani ya kaboni iliyotolewa katika hewa na kuwekwa katika miti iliyo shambani au katika msitu wako, hupimwa na kuripotiwa. Biashara ya kadi za kaboni zaweza kufanyika New York, Chicago, London na mijiji mingineyo ulimwenguni, ama pia kupangwa kati ya watu au kampuni mbili moja kwa moja. Lazima tutimize sheria na mahitaji ya soko. Hatuwezi kukata msitu wote au kukata miti ili kupanda miti kwani hili ni baya kwa mazingira. Lazima tujitoe kuweka miti hii katika shamba kwa muda mrefu, thelathini au zaidi. 

Lazima turipoti data sahihi. Miti inapopandwa, vipimo na hesabu hufanyika ili kupima kiasi cha kaboni iliyonyonywa na miti ya mkulima katika TIST. Kumbuka tena, miti haipelekwi sokoni. Hukaa shambani na jinsi inavyokaa hai, ndivyo malipo yanavyoongezeka. Kwa hivyo, mkulima hukaa na miti, lishe ya mifugo, kuni, matunda na pia karanga. Pesa zinazotengenezwa na TIST katika kuuza kadi za kaboni hujenga chanzo kipya cha mapato na hugawanywa kati ya vikundi vidogo katika TIST na hutumika kusaidia kukidhi gharama za TIST, ambazo ni pamoja na mafunzo, uhesabu miti na usimamizi. Je, Miti yote hunyonya kiasi saw ach kaboni? La, miti iliyo na mzingo mpana huweka kaboni zaidi ya miti iliyo myembamba. Miti mirefu pia hunyonya kaboni zaidi ya miti mifupi. Hivyo basi, miti iliyo mipana huleta mapato zaidi kutokana na kadi za kaboni. Haishindani kupata virutubisho katika udongo na maji kama miti iliyokaribiana. Hivyo basi, ili kupata mapato mazuri kutokana na miti yetu, ni muhimu kuipanda kwa nafasi tosha itakayoiruhusu kukua kiafya, kwa urefu na upana. Kupunguza miti ili kupata kuni na kuiacha miti mingine ikue vizuri huwa njia nzuri zaidi ya kusimamia miti yako. Ni wapi/nani hununua kadi za kaboni? Hivi sasa, kadi za kaboni huuzwa katika masoko ya hiari na katika masoko ya kuhitimu mahitaji. Zaweza kuthibitishwa kwa njia tofauti, kama kulivyo na bidhaa mbalimbali na kuthibitishwa kwa bidhaa zingine unazonunua na kuuza (kama kahawa, kahawa aina mbalimbali).

TIST yaweza kuuza kadi zake za kaboni katika masoko ya hiari au katika masoko ya kuhitimu mahitaj kwa sababu kadi zake ni za hali ya juui. Kuna viwango mbali mbali katika masoko haya vilivyo na sheria mbali mbali na zinazobadilika kila baada ya muda zinazohusu upandaji wa miti, ufuatiliaji, na kuripoti ambazo tunahitajika kuhitimu ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni. Tunatumia viwango vya hali ya juu zaidi katika ukaguzi na kuthibitishwa — the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) na the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards (CCBA). TIST ina wanunuzi wa aina mbili msingi: Aina ya kwanza ni ya watu wanaojitolea kupeana pesa ili kuwapa watu motisha ya kupanda miti. Kwa mfano kulipia miradi ya upandaji wa miti kufanya harusi au semina kuwa kuwa isiyoongeza kaboni katika hewa. Aina ya pili ni ya makampuni yaliyo Amerika, Uropa, Canada na katika nchi zingine zilizokua viwanda zinazojitolea kupunguza gesi chafu zinazotoa kwa sababu mawakala wema wa mazingira au wanajitayarisha kuhitimu mahitaji Fulani ya baadaye. TIST ina furaha sana kuwa na kadi za kaboni za hali ya juu, na kuweza kusambaza kwa wateja mbalimbali. Published by TIST-Kenya.
