Agricultural Research

Innovative Solutions for Agriculture

We need to continue finding innovative solutions for agriculture, land use and food security for communities in Tanzania.

Innovative Solutions for Agriculture

EWB-Tanzania, we’re working on integrated solutions which will provide sustainable diets for communities.

To feed Tanzania’s growing population and support rural livelihoods, we need to continue finding innovative solutions for agriculture, land use and food security. At the same time, we need to overcome challenges of resource competition, degradation and climate change.

Boosting production alone will not be enough to maintain a healthy population; we also need to increase the availability of nutritious food.

Our research aims to create opportunities for agriculture for communities that help deliver on the global sustainable development goals and positions.
