Agroforestry options for Tanzania

Writer: 
Jacinta Kimwaki

Tanzania is listed among the thirteen African countries worst affected by climate change impacts and vulnerability, and having the least adaptive capacities. The country faces the challenge of revitalizing her agricultural sector by improving the natural resource base.
Agroforestry options for Tanzania - a World Agroforestry Centre policy brief - explains how agroforestry could offer robust options to improve productivity and achieve environmental sustainability. It also outlines policy recommendations - both technical and institutional - that will go along way in mitigating the effects of climate change and reduce farmers' vulnerability.
