| Title: | Tanzania - Reversing Land Degradation trends and increasing Food Security in degraded ecosystems of semi-arid areas of Tanzania (LDFS) – July 2023 |
| Description: |
A group of young women come together to produce seaweed oil to earn some income. Their production process starts with melting a base oil, followed by careful mixing with the seaweed powder. The final product is then cooled and bottled. While they primarily rely on word-of-mouth marketing, their entrepreneurial spirit shines through. Currently, the group relies on imported processed seaweed powder. However, their vision is clear: to acquire the tools needed for local seaweed grinding. This will not only cut costs and waiting times but also empower them to utilize the abundant resources right at their doorstep. Reversing Land Degradation Trends and Increasing Food Security in Degraded Ecosystems of Semi-arid Areas of Central Tanzania (LDFS) is one of 12 national projects under the Integrated Approach Pilot program on Fostering Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa (IAPFS). The project focuses on geographic areas with high levels of poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition of children under 5 years of age, as well as land degradation and average annual rainfall. Additionally, it addresses potential conflicts among communities related to access to and use of crop, grass, forest land, and water resources. |
