Farm innovator Bowas Mawara (53)
He went to Australia for an exchange of know haw of farming in dry lands where he participated to Land care program and shared his experience with other farmers.
He developed a system to collect water with a help of gravity. He dug deep pits and created a circulation of water from the upper side of his commercial farm to lower side, where the pits retain water. The canals create a connected system and make possible a circulation of water all around the land filling the fish pound all year around. In area with erratic rains he succeeded to keep the farm green all-year around. He produces enough food for the family: two wife and 15 children. Selling fruits and vegetables he afford to pay expensive college fees for his son Munyani. He is working 12 hectares of land. |
