The study aimed to investigate the impact of climate change and variability

on pesticide usage for rice production in Zanzibar. Anecdotal information

from interviewer responses, climate datasets from the Tanzania Meteorological

Authority (TMA), rice production records (in tones) and pesticide (in

liters) were acquired from Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Natural

Resource

Extreme weather and climatic phenomena, such as heatwaves, cold waves,

floods and droughts, are expected to become more common and have a significant

impact on ecosystems, biodiversity, and society. Devastating disasters

are mostly caused by record-breaking extreme events, which are becoming

more frequent throughout the world, including Tanzania.

The marine accidents are among the main components of the Zanzibar Disaster

Management Policy (2011) and the Zanzibar Blue Economy Policy

(2020). These policies aimed to institute legal frame works and procedures for

reducing both the frequency of marine accidents and their associated fatalities.

With the advent of new materials, microchip industry is investigating new

architecture to further scale down the device size. New technologies are on the

way to achieving this goal without compromising with the device’s performance

and benefits. In this new scenario, corona charge deposition technique

(CCDT) has become an indispensable part of the thin film industry. Due to

the non-invasive and non-destructive nature of corona charge ions, they are

effectively being used to improve the device properties

A study was conducted to assess the adoption and scaling-up of Conservation Agriculture in Arumeru

district, Arusha region, northern Tanzania and Chamwino and Dodoma Urban districts in

Dodoma region, Central Tanzania.

The strong trends in climate change already evident, the likelihood

of further changes occurring, and the increasing scale of potential

climate impacts give urgency to addressing agricultural adaptation

more coherently. There are many potential adaptation options

available for marginal change of existing agricultural systems,

often variations of existing climate risk management. We show

that implementation of these options is likely to have substantial

benefits under moderate climate change for some cropping systems.

However, there are limits to their effectiveness under more

severe climate changes. Hence, more systemic changes in resource

allocation need to be considered, such as targeted diversification

of production systems and livelihoods.
