I got to meet Joseph and the @Heifer Tanzania team and see and learn about their work in Igunga. They (and all the farmers who are participating) are doing amazing work tackling climate-change through agriculture. Love the #IgungaEcovillage project!

Sometimes work and politics are a dicey mix, sometimes everything goes together. Nobody leaves home and trudges thousands of miles just for fun.

In a recent @nytimes interview, Wendell Berry says we are already suffering from a failure to embrace and nurture small-scale sustainable farming.
