Agroecology Centre in Tanzania

This project promotes the application of agroecological practices along the entire value chain. The focus is on reaching an understanding between pastoralists and farmers, whose needs are very contradictory. Training in agricultural cultivation, the creation of processing facilities, and marketing opportunities improve farmers’ livelihoods and enhance the region’s natural environment.

Our partner Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania (SAT) provides training in agroecological methods for farming and pastoral communities in order to increase yields and protect natural resources. SAT creates a range of opportunities for the processing and marketing of organic produce within a local market and stimulates a circular flow of income that could help to reconcile the conflicts between pastoralists and farmers.

“The agroecological approach is essential”
