My name is Janet Maro
I am a director of programs
at the Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania organization
or in short SAT
where we started working in 2009
with the project ''Bustani ya Tushikamane''
which we are implementing at our office
located in Morogoro Urban
We are at the location of the
Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania training center
or in short SAT FTC
where we offer organic farming training
to the communities of Tanzanians, Africans
and all communities from various countries
so we get visitors from Germany,
Belgium, France, from Kenya
and from here in Morogoro and all over Tanzania.
Organic farming trainings are very important
because if you consider the world currently
the organic market
is the agricultural products market
which is growing very fast
thus bringing profits to farmers and producers
all over the world.
Developed nations have given priority
and consumers pay high prices
for organic products
so it is a good opportunity for our farmers
to be able to cultivate clean and safe organic products
which protect the health of producers
and also consumers and bring about development
in the farmers' communities.
Organic farming is a type of farming
which takes into consideration the Eco-system,
health, the environment,
and mostly using farming inputs
which do not harm the environment
or the health of those working in agriculture.
Mostly in Tanzania organic farming
is practiced in cultivation of vegetables,
cultivation of spices
and crops like coffee which are sold
in the international market.
At this training center the lessons we offer
are lessons which are simple and
anyone is able to learn, even someone who can not read or write
can learn theoretically and practically
and be able to apply them at their homes without any difficulties.
We have seen that after participants got lessons from our center,
they were able to start organic farming
and it has brought them more profits and many  benefits.
For example Pius Paulini was able
to start an organic farming business.
He sold carrots and was able to build
a new and modern house with three rooms,
self contained like how any Tanzanian can develop
and succeed.
We have more than 20 varieties
of banana plants on this area.
By using organic farming techniques we are able
to improve production and reach sure markets with profits
Annually we receive an average of 700 visitors
from various regions and countries
who come to participate in our trainings at this center.
The trainings start from;
organic farming first stage,
organic farming intermediate stage,
we have trainings on permanent agriculture or Permaculture,
we have training on processing and increasing the value or quality of crops,
we have training on waste management in cities
in order to reduce environmental pollution,
we have training on natural medicine for humans,
and also livestock keeping,
livestock like cattle, goats, chicken,
bees, fish and rabbits.
My name is Songo Daniel.
 The ward councilor of the Kisawasawa ward
 in the district council of Kilombero.
First I would like to give my sincere thanks
to the SAT organization for giving us the great education
on organic farming
to the ward members from Kisawasawa
who have come with me to this location.
Surely we have been greatly enlightened
by the education on using natural fertilizers.
Because in the Kilombero district
we did not have this education
we use industrial fertilizers
fertilizers which have exhausted our land,
fertilizers which bring great harm to humans,
so I would like to give my sincere thanks
to the SAT organization
for being able to give us these lessons
since they are lessons we did not have before
but for now we have a great understanding
concerning the whole subject of organic farming
so Thank you very much!
