While Tanzania’s economy has steadily grown over the past decade, over 41 percent of Tanzania’s population lives on less than $1.90 a day. Malnutrition remains high. Over 34 percent of children under age five are stunted and nearly 45 percent of women of reproductive age are anaemic. To help Tanzania achieve the second Sustainable Development Goal—to end hunger, promote sustainable agriculture, and achieve food security and improved nutrition—Msoapo is working closely with the societies to address these challenges.
Our Target to Societies
- Improvements in agriculture: To make sure agriculture activities are under improved technologies/agriculture practices.
- Productivity gains: Productivity of Food and Cash Crop to solve Malnutrition and use agriculture as the Business to improve their living standard.
- Sector-wide gains: At least to have 80% of people benefit from Save The Future Foundation agriculture programs.
What is challenging Agriculture sector in Tanzania?
At the same time, however, farmers and other sector stakeholders face considerable challenges in modernizing the industry to increase yields, exports and value-added processing. Challenges on the Agriculture Industry of Tanzania include lack of agricultural technology, droughts, floods, and agriculture temperature shock. These pose severe challenges to the living standards of most of people involved in the Agriculture Industry in Tanzania and create huge increases in unemployment, hunger, malnutrition starvation, and diseases rates.
