ABOUT
TOAM was founded in 2005 and registered under the NGO Acts of 2002 as a membership-based non-governmental organization with over 100 members across the country who promote and coordinate the development of organic agriculture in Tanzania.
The Ecological Organic Agriculture sector in Tanzania faces many challenges including organic inputs, soil health management, Integrated pests and diseases management, quality management of the products throughout the value chain, limited research as well as marketing information.
TOAM wants to be a part of the solution. Through our work, we build the capacity to our members to facilitate the transition of farmers to organic agriculture, raise awareness of the need for sustainable production and consumption, and advocate for a policy environment conducive to agro-ecological farming practices and sustainable development.
Together with our members in five agroecological zones and sector platforms, we are promoting eat organic!
