In a move to bolster organic vegetable production and research in Tanzania, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has announced a grant of $650,000. This funding is aimed at supporting smallholder farmers and enhancing food security in the East African nation. The initiative is part of the broader effort to promote sustainable agricultural practices and improve nutrition among the local population.

The grant will facilitate various activities, including the establishment of demonstration plots for organic vegetable cultivation, training for farmers on organic farming techniques, and the development of market linkages for organic produce. By focusing on organic agriculture, the project seeks to reduce environmental impact, increase farmers' income, and provide healthier food options for consumers.
