Theme
The next issue (02/2025) will focus on the topic of ‘Agriculture’:
In Tanzania, agriculture accounts for 28 per cent of GDP and employs around 60 per cent of the Tanzanian population. A large proportion of them live in poverty. Climate change poses a particular challenge and is already threatening the livelihoods of farmers all over the world, including in Tanzania. Fluctuating and falling world market prices for export products such as coffee, cashews and avocados make it difficult for farmers to maintain a stable income. Consumer habits in Europe are partly responsible for this. However, there are also successful initiatives that have improved income levels. Women in particular, who as smallholder farmers are disproportionately affected by poverty, benefit from this. The various stakeholders are pursuing different approaches to ensure the sustainability of Tanzanian agriculture: While the state and international investors are focussing on large-scale agribusiness projects and technological innovations to increase yields and adapt to climate change, other actors such as NGOs are pursuing a strategy of contributing to poverty reduction and food security through the targeted promotion of sustainable agriculture and fair trade practices.
