MISSION STATEMENT: TIST Uganda is a community initiative dedicated to empowering small groups of subsistence farmers to combat the devastating effects of deforestation, poverty and drought. OBJECTIVE STATEMENT: Combining sustainable development with carbon sequestration,TIST supports the reforestation efforts of over 25,000 subsistence farmers. Sales of carbon credits generate participant income while TIST today also addresses Agriculture, HIV/AIDS, Nutrition and Fuel Wood challenges. ADDRESS: TIST Uganda.

The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program 3 TIST PROMOTE AGRO FORESTRY Since TIST started in Uganda in the year 2003, it has improved lives of Small Group members. This has been done through planting a variety of tree species. Among those tree species, TIST also promotes the growth of agroforestry trees. Agroforestry trees are those trees that can be planted within the crop gardens. These trees can also be planted along the crop garden boundaries. When planted in crop gardens, they can be useful in the following ways. • Agroforestry trees are used as wind breakers. When these trees are planted along crop boundaries, they will prevent wind from destroying the crops.
• Agroforestry trees can help to stop soil erosion. Their roots bind the soil in place so that it is not washed away by running water or strong wind.
• They also help to add nutrients within the soil. When these agroforestry trees shed off their leaves and the leaves add nutrients in the soil and improve crop in the soil and improve crop production.
• Agroforestry trees also act as land boundaries. When planted along the boundaries they can help to settle land conflicts.
• Since agroforestry trees include some fruit trees such as mangoes, oranges, and guavas, they can help to improve the farmer’s income when sold in market.
• These agroforestry fruit also help to improve the people’s nutrition, most especially young children. They also prevent the spread of diseases.
• Agroforestry trees also help to sequester carbon from the atmosphere, as one of the TIST goals to create a good environment. Agroforestry trees, when planted within crop gardens and wellspaced, grow big and help to remove bad air within the atmosphere, i.e.,
the bigger the tree the more carbon it takes in.
• They are important especially for farmers who may not have big land to plant big plantations. A case in point is Kigezi region where farmers have small plots of land. So, I encourage our TIST farmers to embrace agroforestry. Caleb Kayabuki: Cluster Savant, Kabale Disrict BOUNDARY PLANTING This is the form of tree planting done along the boundaries. This kind of tree planting is very good. In fact, it prevents very many things. For instance: 1. Boundary planting prevents the owner from land encroachers. With the help of boundary ENGLISH TIST UGANDA MARCH 2021 NEWSLETTER 4 The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program planting, it is very hard to steal your land. 2. Trees planted along the boundary can act as shade for domestic animals especially on farm. 3. More to that, this type of plantation can ease the work of fencing, like those who wish to make the farm for domestic animals, can use these trees grown in his or her boundary as fence polls. 4. Trees grown in boundary can also control soil erosion. 5. In addition, people who have a small piece of land and wish to plant trees can as well practice boundary planting. I conclude by saying that everyone can plant trees whether you have small piece of land,
or big land, by practicing boundary planting. By Akatukunda Nancy WHAT SHOULD A GOOD CLUSTER LOOK LIKE? * Small Groups come together to form a big group or Cluster and doing this, more other groups will be formed, and members will share common interest and big work is done. * A good Cluster should have 30-50 groups. * Should have all leaders. * Should carry out meetings every month. * Should have demonstration gardens. * Should have Conservation Farming (CF) knowledge. * Should have proper records. * Should have proper accountability records. * Should have TIST Values knowledge. * Should have nursery beds. * Should have rotational leadership. By Caleb Turyamureba-Rukungiri SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE Is a process of conserving environment of natural resources. It involves use of indigenous and technical skills and knowledge. It involves pest and soil control, improve in farm and manure making. Compost manure Is manure made from crop vegetation, kitchen left over and decompose before applied in garden. Material use in compost manure making Top soil, water, wood, ash, leaves and animal matter (i.e., dung, urine). Choosing a site for compost making Site should be near garden. Site should be located in area free from breeding pests and diseases
. An area with no water collection point. The pits/holes should be dry under shade/under a tree. Practice it for good yield. Rev.

Ekeesit Robert TIST INA KUKUZA KILIMO YA MISITU Tangu TIST ilianza nchini Uganda mnamo 2003,
imeboresha maisha ya washiriki wa Vikundi Vidogo. Hii imefanywa kupitia kupanda aina ya mti mbali mbali. Miongoni mwa aina hizo za mti, TIST pia inakuza ukuaji wa mti ya kilimo misitu. mti ya kilimo mseto ni ile miti ambayo inaweza kupandwa ndani ya bustani za mazao. Mti hii pia inaweza kupandwa kando ya mipaka ya bustani ya mazao. Wakati wa kupandwa katika bustani za mazao, zinaweza kuwa na faida kwa njia zifuatazo. Miti ya kilimo cha misitu hutumiwa kama vipuri vya upepo. miti hii inapopandwa kando ya mipaka ya mazao, itazuia upepo usiharibu mazao. Mti ya kilimo cha misitu inaweza kusaidia kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo. Mizizi yao hufunga ardhi mahali ili isioshe na maji ya bomba au upepo mkali. Pia husaidia kuongeza virutubisho ndani ya udongo. wakati mti hii ya kilimo cha miti ikitoa majani na majani huongeza virutubishi kwenye mchanga na kuboresha mazao kwenye mchanga na kuboresha uzalishaji wa mazao. Miti ya kilimo cha misitu pia hufanya kama mipaka ya ardhi. Wakati wa kupandwa kando ya mipaka wanaweza kusaidia kumaliza mizozo ya ardhi. kwa kuwa miti ya kilimo mseto inajumuisha miti ya matunda kama vile maembe, machungwa, na guavas, zinaweza kusaidia kuboresha mapato ya mkulima wakati unauzwa sokoni. Matunda haya ya kilimo cha mseto pia husaidia kuboresha lishe ya watu, haswa watoto wadogo. Pia huzuia kuenea kwa magonjwa.
TIST UGANDA KISWAHILI BARUA YA HABARI YA TIST MARCH 2021 10 The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program miti ya kilimo ya misitu pia husaidia kutenganisha kaboni kutoka anga, kama moja ya malengo ya TIST kuunda mazingira mazuri. mti ya kilimo cha misitu, ikipandwa ndani ya bustani za mazao na imepanuliwa vizuri, hukua kubwa na kusaidia kuondoa hewa mbaya ndani ya anga, i.e. Ni muhimu hasa kwa wakulima ambao wanaweza kuwa hawana ardhi kubwa ya kupanda mashamba makubwa. mfano ni mkoa wa Kigezi ambapo wakulima wana viwanja vidogo. Kwa hivyo, ninahimiza wakulima wetu wa TIST kukumbatia kilimo cha mseto. Caleb Kayabuki: Cluster Savant, Wilaya ya Kabale KUPANDA MIPAKA Hii ndio aina ya upandaji miti uliofanywa kando ya mipaka. aina hii ya upandaji miti ni nzuri sana. Kwa kweli, inazuia vitu vingi sana.
Kwa mfano: Upandaji wa mipaka huzuia mmiliki kutoka kwa wavamizi wa ardhi. Kwa msaada wa upandaji wa mipaka, ni ngumu sana kuiba ardhi yako. mti iliyopandwa kando ya mpaka inaweza kuwa kama kivuli kwa wanyama wa kufugwa haswa kwenye shamba. Zaidi ya hayo, aina hii ya shamba inaweza kupunguza kazi ya uzio, kama wale wanaotaka kutengeneza shamba kwa wanyama wa nyumbani, wanaweza kutumia miti hii iliyopandwa katika mpaka wake kama kura za uzio. miti iliyopandwa mpakani pia inaweza kudhibiti mmomonyoko wa udongo. Kwa kuongezea, watu ambao wana kipande kidogo cha ardhi na wanaotaka kupanda miti wanaweza pia kufanya mazoezi ya kupanda mipaka. ninahitimisha kwa kusema kwamba kila mtu anaweza kupanda miti ikiwa una shamba ndogo, au ardhi kubwa, kwa kufanya mazoezi ya kupanda mipaka.
