Adoption and impact of chololo pits technology in semi-arid agriculture: Chamwino, Dodoma region, Tanzania

This study focuses on how the adoption and impact of chololo pit technology help small farmers to increase crops and go for sustainable agriculture. In this research, I want to know how the farmers were able to benefit from the improvement that occurred in chololo pit technology project in Chamwino district in Dodoma region. The research is important because will highlight where the project ended since was established in the region and the experience of small farmers on perceptions regarding the adoption and impact of chololo pit practices on crop productivity and agricultural resilience. I got to know many results after finishing the investigation including positive and negative factors that led to the realization that the project is beneficial and ability to continue to bring productivity to the community. Also, Farmers are likely to benefit from improved water retention, soil fertility, and land productivity. The study reveals the presence of social and economic factors that affect the adoption of the technology including income, labour force, and financial costs of the project which may determine the extent to which farmers adopt chololo pits technology. This study was able to be successfully carried out in twowards of Maginga and Ifuda located in Chamwino district, Dodoma. The chololo pit project was able to be done properly and able to bring interest to the community. I suggested using 2 Focus Group Interviews (FGI) and 4 key informatic interviews (KII) which all together point out how the adoption and impact of chololo pit technology. It was able to bring about the agricultural expansion on productivity and resilience aspect. Furthermore, I have been able to learn this agriculture can bring productivity and positive interest in the community even though it has still been through the challenge of not being able to develop due to various challenges facing the beneficiaries on vulnerable groups, especially those smallholder farmers.
