Synopsis (short abstract) The report gives an overview of climate change and agriculture in Tanzania. Tanzania was one of two countries that participated in the implementation of the pilot projects led by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) under the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture Programme. The report looks at the policy environment for climate change in Agriculture in Tanzania, including their development vision and national climate change strategy. It looks at current and potent ial climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies: National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and also REDD+ as a mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in AFOLU. It concludes that the government has engaged in efforts to reduce GHG emissions and that efforts by the government to modernize agriculture are underway through policy reforms and support from the private sector.

    Soil organic carbon and nitrogen: Reviewing the challenges for climate change mitigation and adaptation in agri-food systems
    ITPS Soil Letters # 2
    2021
    Also available in:

    Carbon and nitrogen participate directly in a wide variety of soil processes that are key to the food system and for the provision of ecosystem services. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main indicator of soil health and constitutes the backbone of the molecules that, together with nitrogen, build soil organic matter (SOM), which is responsible for much of the multifunctional nature of soils, optimizing soil health and productivity. Furthermore, the use of reactive nitrogen in agriculture is essential for plant growth and food security. However, the adverse effects of nitrogen use in agriculture impose global challenges that add to other major challenges such as global population growth, urban expansion, dietary shifts, climate change and soil degradation. This second issue of the ITPS letters explores how an integrated and joint nitrogen management framework, in conjunction with recarbonization programmes, can contribute to unlocking the potential of cropped soils to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
