As part of EU-funded project UPSCALE our PhD researcher Adomas Liepa organised a data collection campaign to Mwanza, Tanzania. Working together with the local agricultural researchers from Tanzanian Agricultural Research Institute (TARI) valuable insights into farming practices, local farming tendencies and growing season projections were evaluated.
