Despite the fact that majority Tanzanians are employed in subsistence farming, they have remained poor due to poor technology, skilled labor, and lack of
agricultural inputs and marketing. By so doing, MKULIMA MAKINI is aiming at promoting skilled farming for farmers in order to enable them profiting from commercial farming. Once farmers are equipped with knowledge and skills it will help them to understand their position in the society and that through them the whole world will be benefited.

OBJECTIVES
The aim is to impact knowledge and skills to farmers and young generation so that they can understand that in the world with climatic changes and improvement of science and technology still they can farm for business. Also to empower women who are practicing subsistence farming to commercial farming. This is due to the fact that, the societies has been taking agriculture as a women task and they normally do it so that their families get food, so when they are equipped with knowledge and skills they will produce for business also. Men also are equipped with knowledge and skills for agriculture. As we have seen that our societies consider agriculture to be practiced by women only and whatever being practiced by women is taken as inferior thing. So in order to give agriculture its status, men also have to be taken into consideration. Young generation will also not be left behind because they take a large number in the society and they have to be productive to the society.
