| Title: | Tanzania - Reversing Land Degradation trends and increasing Food Security in degraded ecosystems of semi-arid areas of Tanzania (LDFS) – July 2023 |
| Description: |
Ngotina, a member of the Hadzabe community, is venturing into beekeeping and farming alongside other young community members. While accustomed to the traditional ways of hunting and gathering, Ngotina is eager to learn and grow. Last year's heavy rains impacted their honey harvest, falling short of their usual 4-5 buckets. Despite the challenges, Ngotina's dedication is fuelled by the hope of a brighter future for herself and her child. 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. |
