Description
The Tanzania Sandponic Farm, run by TARI Ukiriguru, uses sandponics to grow sweet potato vines year-round. This technique boosts crop yield using minimal water and land. Supported by the International Potato Center (CIP), the farm helps local farmers produce virus-free sweet potato vines with a low-cost, recyclable growing medium. Sand, as the main growing base, makes farming more efficient in areas with limited resources. This farm showcases the benefits of sandponics for improving food security and seed systems in Africa.
