MOVING TOWARD SUSTAINIBILITY
PROJECT TARIRO is moving into intensive farming with a new greenhouse to propagate vegetable seedlings and an irrigation system for year around production. David Mandizvidza, horticulturist and manager the 7 acre demonstration farm at Project Tariro at Old Mutare, is currently growing tomatoes and beans for immediate consumption. Vegetable and crop production is part of a larger plan by the Tariro Board of Directors to move this program toward self- sustainability. October 2014
