Participatory research demonstrates the effects of agroecological practices in Tanzania
SWISSAID, in collaboration with Swiss and Tanzanian researchers, has conducted a five-year participatory research project to test agroecological practices in Tanzania. Utilizing participatory methods and innovative mobile technology for data collection and sharing, the research has provided valuable insights into the effectiveness of various agroecological farming practices for cassava and maize production. The findings will contribute to the advancement of agroecology in Tanzania and, amongst other things, inform the National Ecological Organic Agriculture Strategy recently launched by the Government.
