ABSTRACT
Tanzania is amongst the countries most vulnerable to disaster risks and climate change impacts. Climate change and disasters have resulted in a continued decline in ecosystems, land productivity, decreasing crop yields and communities becoming increasingly vulnerable due to their low adaptation capacities. Development and poverty reduction efforts in Tanzania are at severe risk. This chapter examines the situation and highlights the benefits of agroecological approaches in mitigating climate change whilst supporting and providing good livelihoods for farmers and pastoralists.
