Keepers of the Land Soil Searching Tanzania

As mountain bikers, we play an important role in using our passion for the greater good. What does this look like in action? The K2N MTB stage race in Northern Tanzania is a good place to start.

It generates funds for One World Sustainable Livelihood to proliferate local training on conservation agriculture to make the soil more resilient, more fertile, and more productive for future generations. This promotes localized food security via sustainable methodologies, which is of the utmost importance when considering that agricultural land is shrinking while population densities are increasing. Think of it as finding ways to work together to increase yields without losing culture, tradition, and community. Yeah, not your typical bike race.
