Description
The Ukiriguru Sweet Potato Seed Farm in Tanzania, stands as a leading example of how sandponics can enhance crop yield while using minimal water and land resources. Supported by the International Potato Center (CIP), this project leverages simple, low-cost techniques to produce sweet potato vines year-round. Sand is used as a sterile, recyclable growing medium, ensuring a steady supply of virus-free vines for the local farming community. This innovative approach is vital for boosting food production in regions with limited resources and serves as a key player in improving seed systems across Africa.
