Visits to Lambani and Mokwakwaila communities

Julie Wilk from Linköping University, Sweden, Wisani Mushadu and Gabriel Lekalakala from the Research Division of LDA visited the communities on January 21 and 22nd. They collected data from the wireless sensors and discussed the latest seasonal forecasts and their possible implications for the farmers in the community.

Most farmers have planted their maize and are waiting for rain. Lambani had received small amounts of rainfall on January 16th and 18th. In Mokwakwaila conditions were much drier. 

Visits were also made to the community field trials. Photos and a short summary of current conditions will soon be uploaded to the field trial page of this blog.
