BookletMapping territorial markets in the United Republic of Tanzania
Summary report
2023Also available in:
No results found.Smallholder farmers are responsible for most of the food consumed in the world, as well as most of the investments made in agriculture. They operate largely in a range of local and national markets that are embedded in territorial food systems, also known as “territorial markets”. From a consumer perspective, these markets serve as key retail outlets for access to the foods needed for healthy diets, in particular fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and staple foods. Despite their importance however, data concerning territorial markets – such as the availability of food groups, food retailers and consumer profiles – are not often included in national data collection systems. As a result, they are often neglected in strategies aimed at improving nutrition, reducing poverty and fostering local economies. This booklet presents data and results from the mapping territorial markets in the United Republic of Tanzania. -
Book (stand-alone)Options for low emission development in the Tanzania dairy sector - reducing enteric methane for food security and livelihoods 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Given the importance of the dairy sector to livelihoods and its potential role in poverty reduction, this study evaluates the potential for improving milk production while reducing enteric methane (CH4) emission intensity from dairy production in Tanzania. The study reveals that improved management practices and technologies can increase milk productivity while reducing methane emission intensity in both traditional and improved dairy systems. The economic analysis shows that in improved systems, all interventions assessed were cost-beneficial, however the analysis indicates that in traditional systems, both the baseline scenario and mitigation options present economic returns of less than 1. Although the economic analysis might not directly support the application of mitigation practices in traditional systems, the study does not exclude the importance of mitigation action focusing specifically on traditional systems since their existence and persistence is already threated by the effects of climatic variability and climate change. All the mitigation options analyzed in this study presented significant gains in productivity, which in practice can generate improvements in food and nutrition security, as well as boost farmers’ incomes. Moreover, some of the mitigation options can maintain and/or improve herd parameters, feed resources and water supply during and after climate shocks, supporting these systems to move from relief to resilience. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetUnited Republic of Tanzania: El Niño impact assessment highlights
May 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.This document presents the highlights of an impact assessment conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, the Tanzania Vulnerability Assessment Committee, the Ministry of Agriculture’s Crop and Livestock Departments, and the World Food Programme, to understand the impact of El Niño on agricultural production and livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania. The comprehensive assessment approach included an innovative combination of four components: maize yield forecasts using a NASA Harvest model; a household survey that reached 1 200 households across the eight regions conducted in May 2024; an agriculture sector damage and loss assessment; and a seed assessment conducted through interviews with key informants in the seed sector.
