181.	Micro-Irrigation Technologies
	Sunday, February 19, 2006  by Admin
	Micro-Irrigation Technologies Rural Kenyans can no longer rely purely on subsistence farming. They need hard cash to buy enough food and to pay for school fees and healthcare. Yet most live on farms less than two acres in size. Many thousands of entrepreneurial farmers are now irrigating with KickStart's manual MoneyMaker irrigation pumps and changing their small subsistence farms into vibrant new commercial enterprises.
182.	Tanzania-The status of Tanzanian honey Trade- Domestic and International Markets
	Wednesday, February 15, 2006  by Admin
	Beekeeping in Tanzania plays a major role in socio-economic development and environmental conservation. It is a source of food (e.g. honey, pollen and brood), raw materials for various industries (e.g. beeswax candles, lubricants), medicine (honey, propolis, beeswax bee venom) and source of income for beekeepers. It is estimated that the sector generates about US$ 1.7 million each year from sales of honey and beeswax and employ about 2 million rural people.
183.	The Poor Relation. A political economy of the marketing chain for dagaa in Tanzania
	Wednesday, February 15, 2006  by Admin
	Dagaa is the collective name in Tanzania for various types of sardine-like fish eaten in a dried form by poor and middle-income groups throughout eastern and southern Africa. This paper is a fieldwork-based case-study of the 'commodity chain' for dagaa. That is, it is a study of how dagaa is produced, marketed, distributed and consumed, of which groups are involved in each of these stages, how they are organised and how they inter-relate with each other.
184.	Malaria herb now turns top cash crop
	Wednesday, February 15, 2006  by Admin
	Tanzania is increasingly emerging as a major source of artemesinin,a key ingredient in the new generation of anti-malarias,which the World Health Organization (WHO) says are the key to fighting the killer fever. The new, and highly effective, dual therapy is based on an ancient Chinese herbal remedy. It is now known as Artemesinin Combination Therapies (ACTs), currently the most effective treatment against malaria.
185.	The birdlife partnership “water sustaining life, sustaining livelihoods�
	Wednesday, February 15, 2006  by Admin
	Freshwater ecosystems occupy less than 1% of the earth's surface, but they deliver goods and services of enormous global value - a recent report concluded that the annual global value of wetlands could be some US$70 billion (WWF, 2004). This vital resource is becoming scarce not only because of increased demand, but also due to greater pollution and habitat degradation.

187.	Why agriculture still matters
	Wednesday, February 15, 2006  by Admin
	Why agriculture still matters - often depends on conditions outside policy-makers' reach. The weather, world prices (depending on how much the world demands of agricultural products and how much the rest of the world produces), external trade barriers and market access all play a role in determining agricultural outcomes. As a result, the agricultural sector is arguably more vulnerable and more dependent on a fair globalization 1 than any other sector.
188.	Agricultural Marketing and Supply Chain Management in Tanzania
	Tuesday, January 31, 2006  by Admin
	This study describes the current marketing arrangements in Tanzania, using Dar es Salaam, Ifakara and Mtwara as case studies. Impediments captured in this study include physical infrastructure, knowledge and capital and institutional framework. The Government has made changes in its policy to open markets and to facilitate free trade in the country. Changes at the top must be complemented with supporting policies at lower levels of administration to ensure trade liberalisation serves as a welfare increasing policy instrument.
189.	A methodological guide on how to identify trends and linkages between changes in land use, biodiversity and land degradation
	Thursday, January 19, 2006  by Admin
	Land quality in the man-modified agricultural landscapes of eastern Africa has been shown to degrade over time, resulting in higher demands for farm inputs in order to sustain productivity. It has therefore become important to know how land use change contributes to land degradation and how land use change leads to biodiversity loss. This paper from the collaborative Land Use Change, Impacts and Dynamics (LUCID) project describes a framework for the analysis between land use change, biodiversity loss and land degradation for the first time.
190.	TIRDO sensitizes tea farmers on quality improvement
	Tuesday, January 17, 2006  by Admin
	TIRDO sensitizes tea farmers on quality improvement-Four experts from the Tanzania Industrial Research and Development Organization and from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS) have for the past two weeks been educating farmers and processors of tea and coffee in Iringa, Mbeya and Ruvuma regions on traceability requirements as a precondition to penetrate the European, Asian and the United States markets.
191.	Logo Design Competition
	Friday, January 13, 2006  by Admin
	There is a logo design competition for the Marine and Coastal Environment Management Project (MACEMP). This project is jointly coordinated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (mainland) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Environment (Zanzibar). Closing date is 24th January 2006.
192.	The Use of Sustainable Irrigation for Poverty Alleviation in Tanzania:
	Thursday, December 15, 2005  by Admin
	Irrigation has been found to be a central key part in curbing food scarcity not only in Tanzania but also in many other developing countries. The continued dependence on rainfall in agriculture has proved incapable of sustaining the population increase. This study examines the sustainability of smallholder irrigated agriculture as a means of improving social and economic benefits in the Mbarali district, located in Usangu plains of South-West Tanzania.
193.	The Shorter Agricultural Sector Development Strategy (ASDS)
	Thursday, December 15, 2005  by Admin
	The Agriculture sector leads the Tanzanian economy and is responsible for half the Gross Domestic Product and export earnings. The Agricultural Sector Development Strategy (ASDS) aims to improve the profitability of agriculture for both subsistence and commercial farmers. The ASDS was designed using a Sector Wide Approach to develop a five year programme of activities which harmonise with other development policies and programmes.
194.	The dynamic relationship between property rights, water resource management and poverty in the Lake Victoria Basin
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	This review aims to synthesize information on the dynamic relationships between property rights to land and natural resources, water resource management and poverty in the Lake Victoria Basin of East Africa. It focuses on the way in which water management systems, under the conceptual umbrella of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), address customary claims to land and water.
195.	Forest landscape restoration in East Africa
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	The need to restore lost and degraded forests is not just an African issue, but East Africa is leading the way in rebuilding forest assets for people and nature. The case studies reported here illustrate that cost-effective restoration of forest goods and services can be made a reality at a landscape level, for example: From 1,000 to 250,000 hectares of ngitili woodland in the Shinyanga region of Tanzania over the space of only 15 years.
