School Farming Project in Tanzania | Matipwilli Secondary

Living Machines partnered with Matipwilli Secondary School in Tanzania to install a turnkey farming system designed for smart learning. The project's goal was to create a practical, hands-on educational resource that also contributes to the school's food supply.

Many educational institutions look for effective ways to teach sustainable agriculture and nutrition. An on-site food production system serves as a living classroom, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting.

A Living Classroom for Sustainable Skills

The system we installed is more than just a garden; it's a comprehensive educational tool. It provides students with the opportunity to manage a complete agricultural cycle, from planting and nurturing crops to harvesting and composting.

Project Features:

• Turnkey Farming System: We provided a complete, ready-to-use growhouse equipped for food production.
• Hands-On Learning: The system is designed for student participation, supporting lessons in biology, agriculture, and business.
• Food Security: Produce grown in the growhouse supplements the school's kitchen, providing fresh, nutritious food for students.
• Practical Skill Development: Students learn valuable skills in water management, soil health, and organic pest control.

This project helps Matipwilli Secondary School grow not only food but also knowledge. It empowers students with the skills for sustainable living and food independence, creating a lasting impact on the community.
