A project by Liechtenstein Development Service (LED)
Practical knowledge for smallholder families in Tanzania
The use of organic farming methods is a healthy, sustainable way for Tanzanian smallholder families to sustainably increase yields and income and improve their health and food security. However, both smallholder families and state institutions often lack the necessary know-how.
The project counteracts this by imparting practical knowledge via radio and magazines. Through the information, smallholder families expand their knowledge and skills in organic farming and achieve better, sustainable yields. This in turn improves their economic, social and ecological livelihoods.
Project goals
Increased use of organic farming methods by 1.2 million smallholder farmers.
Increased awareness and knowledge of agroecology among target groups.
Reduced use of synthetic inputs by smallholder farmers.
Special features of the project
By linking and reinforcing valuable information via two different media channels (radio and magazine), over 5 million people can potentially benefit from the content disseminated.
