Sustainable Agriculture Practices in Tanzania

Promoting Eco-Friendly Farming Techniques

Tanzania is embracing sustainable agriculture practices to combat climate change and preserve the environment. With agriculture being a critical part of the economy, there is a growing emphasis on eco-friendly farming techniques that ensure long-term productivity and environmental health.

Agroforestry
Agroforestry, the practice of integrating trees and shrubs into crop and livestock systems, is gaining popularity among Tanzanian farmers. This approach helps improve soil fertility, reduce erosion, and provide additional sources of income through timber and fruit production.

Organic Farming
Organic farming practices are being encouraged to reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. By using natural compost and biopesticides, farmers can produce healthier crops and maintain soil health. Training programs and certifications are helping farmers transition to organic methods.
