For many city dwellers, urban agriculture has been a source of sustenance. This video, based on an interview, documents a part of this story. Mr Hasunga, a man in his early forties, describes how his plot of land in Morogoro's peri-urban area has brought about remarkable life changes. His decision to leave his job as a bus driver and set up an agricultural business led to both material success as well as intangible benefits, including increased financial freedom and family well-being.
In this video, Mr Malinga of Morogoro explains how his farming operations have expanded from a few plots to 3 acres of farming land. His methods for growing tomatoes in the city have changed his life. Motivated by the financial rewards, he has turned to other urban agriculture strategies, which have helped him and his family establish a sustainable lifestyle and enhance their standard of living.
