We were very happy to be hosted by the Selian Agricultural Research Center and ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics) for a second round of training smallholder farmers extension officers on value addition to sorghum. Namely, baking delicious bread, scones and cakes in the Cookswell Energy Saving Jikos medium 4 level charcoal oven.
We also roasted two goat legs and potatoes to show alternative uses of the oven in the villages of Northern Tanzania. Each oven included a packet of 200 tree seeds as well for each extension officer to use to plant a future source of charcoal in their villages.
