Presented By: Tim Watkins & Joel Wildasin

Event: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2018 (2018-11-13)

In August 2017, Tim Watkins traveled to Mchinga, Tanzania to assist Kilimo Timilifu (KT) in the process of  developing a plan for integrating agroforestry practices into KT's farm plans. He worked closely with Joel Wildasin, who was serving as the KT farm manager at the time. Tim will begin by presenting on the background, planning process and resulting plans for agroforestry practices at KT. Then, Joel will present on some of the implementation of the plans and discuss the planning process from KT's perspective.
