TOAM

Welcome to Tanzania Organic Agriculture Movement

TOAM is the national umbrella organisation for organic agriculture. We are one of many such umbrella bodies around the world, linked through the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). Our role is to coordinate and promote the development of the organic farming sector in Tanzania.

We work in five key areas:
-Awareness Creation: working to increase the public’s knowledge of organic farming;
-Capacity Building: increasing competences of trainers, extension staff and facilitators;
-Information: as a focal point in the organic sector;
-Lobbying and Advocacy: to influence the partnerships, networks, government departments;
-Linkages and Networking: facilitating new linkages and networks and expanding existing ones.

This website (relaunched December 2010) aims to become a key resource for organic information, news, techniques, practices, principles, market information, standards and more...
