Piloting Sustainable Wheat Production in Makete as a driver to economic growth and National Food Security was initially conceived by regional and district authorities in Njombe and Makete, respectively. The regional administration immediately saw the need to include SUA as a key partner in the project as the latter could render its enormous expertise in various aspects of the project including but not limited to soil health and fertility assessment, land mapping and suitability assessment, seed health issues, and agronomic knowledge over wheat production and farmer training skills.

The Chancellor of Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), retired Judge Joseph Warioba, has asked the members of the University Council as well as the training participants to ensure that the studies on Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock are in line with the climate change in solving challenges.

It is with great sorrow, Professor Raphael Chibunda, the Vice Chancellor of the Sokoine University of Agriculture, announces the death of one of the University’s prominent academic member of staff: Professor Rudovick Reuben Kazwala BVSc (Sokoine University of Agriculture, Tanzania), MVM (University College Dublin, Ireland), PhD (University of Edinburgh, UK) who passed away on Monday 03 April, 2023 in Dar es salaam, Tanzania.
