TANZANIA: Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania (SAT)
Empowering farmers with sustainable practices to boost yields, cut costs, and enhance soil health for resilient agricultural systems and improved food safety and security.
SAT is a non-governmental organization that uses sustainable agroecological methods to improve soil health, climate resilience, and productivity for smallholder farmers. It enhances food security and livelihoods by lowering dependency on chemicals. Through partnerships and scalable training methods, SAT’s approach has the potential to revolutionize agricultural systems in Tanzania and beyond, promoting sustainability over the long run.

SAT started by helping farmers to regenerate fallow land. Thousands of farmers succeeded against their doubts. When they called the results a miracle, SAT responded: Its not a ‘miracle’, its a ‘method’. To date SAT trained 200,000 farmers in its locally adapt agroforestry method. Its training facilities include multi-crop farms and forests.
Global Academy is committed to supporting SAT in collaboration with Natural Farming Global to explore how to integrate Andhra Pradesh Community-managed Natural Farming (APCNF) methods to improve outcomes.
Global Academy also supports SAT in collaboration with Economy of Love Global to explore how to generate whole system carbon credits for itself and its farmers so that their ecosystem contributions will be fairly compensated.

Overview & Method
Why does this matter for climate change?
To close the emissions gap, land use must transition rapidly from being a net source of emissions to a net sink. SAT's agroforestry methodology supports farmers to increase their food security, while sequestering more carbon.

Initially skeptical, Joyce Beno joined the Doga Kilimo group under USP. Through training, Joyce learned organic practices like composting and using bio-pesticides, revitalizing her farm. Her spice yields soared, and as an ICS-certified organic farmer, she now sells her produce at premium prices, earning up to 14 million TZS (approx. 5000 Euro) in the 2022/2023 season. With her increased income, she bought more land, supported her family, and ensured her daughter’s education. Joyce now inspires others to pursue spice farming, showcasing its benefits and potential for success.
