Agroecology Centre in Tanzania
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.
