| Title: | Tanzania - Reversing Land Degradation trends and increasing Food Security in degraded ecosystems of semi-arid areas of Tanzania (LDFS) – July 2023 |
| Description: |
Aziz, a representative of the Northern Tanzania Beekeeping Company, represents a successful collaboration between the private sector and a local community. The company was introduced to the Hazabe people, renowned for their honey production. Since then, the Northern Tanzania Beekeeping Company has provided training to the Hazabe, enhancing their honey production techniques. This collaboration ensures a consistent supply of high-quality honey for the company, while empowering the Hazabe community with valuable skills and a reliable market. "We prioritize both quality and quantity," explains Zombe. "That's why we're committed to supporting the Hazabe people and helping them increase their honey production." The Resilient Food Systems programme under Reversing of Land Degradation Trends and Increasing Food Security in Degraded Ecosystems of Semi-arid Areas of Central Tanzania (LDFS) project seeks to support food production and security (in terms of quantity, accessibility, and quality) in Tanzania. This entails addressing drivers for unsustainable land management and land degradation as well as biodiversity loss and support adaptation strategies to climate variability in the agricultural sector, fostering small farmer’s and pastoralist’s resilience to climate and other shocks. The project focuses on geographic areas with high levels of poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition of children under 5 years old, land degradation and low average annual rainfall, as well as areas where there might be conflicts among communities related to access to and use of crop, grass and forest land and water resources. It currently covers twenty-two villages in five districts in semiarid areas of Mainland Tanzania, including Kondoa, Nzega, Magu, Chemba and Mkalama District. |
