00:00For many years, Tigere Farm has worked tirelessly to cultivate crops year-round,
00:05relying heavily on a nearby stream for irrigation.
00:08However, in the recent years, the stream runs dry,
00:11forcing the farm to explore alternative irrigation methods to sustain their crops.
00:15We find that the rain seasons disappear just in two months and some weeks,
00:22and also we find that as farmers, we start struggling and also starting using irrigations.
00:29Despite these challenges, the rewarding outcome of producing food continues to motivate this farm.
00:35We have adapted to start planting drought-resistant crops, like crops which don't need a lot of water.
00:43So I've started planting onions, I've started planting early maturity plants,
00:50and also I've started looking at crops which give money in a short period of time.
00:57Livingstone Farmers Cooperative Chairperson Matthews Mbao reflects on the resilience of small-scale farmers,
01:04noting that they are gradually adopting sustainable farming practices to combat the challenges posed by climate change.
01:11So we have encouraged our farmers to quickly change, even to animals.
01:17They are keeping animals, some are keeping goats, some are keeping ducks and chickens and so on.
01:25And those who are doing so are doing fine.
01:29Then others are doing crop rotation.
01:33Farmers across the region have been encouraged to persevere in the face of adversity.
01:38You need to be thinking beyond your mind.
01:44Think beyond.
01:45Learn from others.
01:46And see when others, what they are doing and they are successful, try to learn from them.
01:54And you will find you will do better.
01:56Farmers have also been encouraged to continue being innovative and adapt to today's agricultural landscape.
