Dar es Salaam. Although they say old habits are hard to change, more and more people are choosing to live healthily by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Consumers in developing countries are taking steps to be healthier by switching to organic foods while avoiding genetically modified products.

And farmers are ready to seize the opportunity. Experts say that Tanzania will soon be added to the list of countries with a large number of certified organic farmers in the world, which will allow it to take advantage of opportunities available in foreign markets, especially in Europe.

Organic farming is beneficial for environmental protection and a safe way to preserve consumer health as it limits the use of chemicals, including pesticides and industrial fertilizers.

Covering almost 2,790 square kilometres, Tanzania’s organically farmed land is the largest in sub-Saharan Africa, according to 2017 reports. However, the area only accounts for 0.7% of the country’s total agricultural land.

Last year, the European Commission launched an organic farming action plan for EU countries aiming to achieve the European Green Deal of 25% of agricultural land put under organic farming by 2030.

The paradigm shift from GMOs to organic foods should be seen as good news for Tanzanian farmers who rank third in Africa.

Having experienced global climate changes in recent years, organic farming which goes hand in hand with environmental protection should be the option for Tanzanian farmers.

For example, EU standards require organic farming to protect and preserve soil from erosion, protect trees from deforestation, reduce carbon emissions and protect water resources which should be used to facilitate agriculture. ‘organic farming.

Mobo Group CEO Mr Maurice Awiti told The Citizen that black pepper, for example, which is produced through organic practices, is priced at 7 Euros per kilo (equivalent to Sh18,000) compared to black pepper. grown non-organically, which sells for 2 Euros (about Sh5,143) per kilogram.

“Since the demand is high, Tanzanians should seize the opportunity and take advantage of it. I can say with confidence that organic farming is the future,” says Mr. Awiti.

He goes on to say that a kilo of organic ginger trades at 5.2 euros, while non-organic merchandise is sold at 1.9 euros, noting that normally the price doubles or triples depending on the quality of the product.

Mr. Awiti says that the price of cinnamon by convention is sold at 3.2 euros per kilogram, while organic is sold between 6.3 and 10 euros, the price of conventional cardamom ranging from 7 to 10 euros, while that organic is marketed between 15 and 15 euros per kilogram.

“The country should adopt and promote organic farming, which is an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure and other organic materials. The practice emphasizes cultivation techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting,” he told The Citizen.

He sees a great opportunity for the prosperity of organic farming in the country. “I personally find this to be a new dawn for farmers interested in organic farming as well as those considering getting into farming. To be precise, most exports to Europe and Asia are organic crops,” he adds.

The Sales and Distribution Manager of SAT Holistic Group Limited, Mr. Akley Mbaye, says organic farming provides people with chemical-free food and plays an important role in environmental conservation.

“We produce various crops, including cereals, vegetables, fruits and spices. For example, last year we exported rosella at high prices. We are supposed to adopt this type of agriculture for health and economic benefits,” says Mr. Mbaye.

He says market gardeners who regularly spray their crops, a practice that could be harmful to consumer health, could reduce the impact through organic farming.

How organic farmers are certified

For farmers to be certified, they must consider the type of crops to be grown, target markets, stages of production, preparation, distribution of organic products and control, according to Mr. Awiti.

According to him, EU standards require farmers to protect and preserve soil from erosion, protect trees from deforestation, reduce carbon emissions, protect water resources and use them for cultivation.

“Standards are formulated and recognized by various national and global certification bodies. These standards form the basis for sustainable production of organic crops while ensuring the efficient functioning of markets, ensuring fair competition, promoting consumer confidence and protecting consumer interests,” he shares.

When it comes to organic farming requirements, they take more traceable farm histories, including where the crop was originally grown, the original grower, harvesting and processing history, and storage methodologies. , which are compiled and submitted to the accreditation body.

The challenges of organic farming

“For three years, land acquisition has been our major challenge. Our plan is to grow organic black pepper on 400 hectares this year. The challenge was to bring all 400 acres together in one place,” says Mr. Awiti, adding; “We have placed our hope and our confidence in the Ministry of Agriculture whose leaders work tirelessly to ensure the prosperity of the sector and the conquest of the world market. Fortunately, many farmers want to expand their businesses, but they don’t know where to start.

Certification of smallholders is another challenge, especially regarding the cost of certification, inspection and audit.

“The lack of experience and knowledge of most organic farmers is another challenge. Training on how this agriculture is practiced to bring sustainable and financial profit is necessary,” he adds.

Organic farming, according to Mr. Awiti, produces crops with yields down 30 to 40 percent, therefore noting that farmers would need more land compared to producing conventional crops.

An agro-economist from Sokoine University of Agriculture, Professor Joseph Hela, agrees that organic farming holds great promise and has niche market potential, especially for cotton, vegetables and other crops.

“The challenge is that it is practiced by small farmers, most of whom do not have organic certification. Therefore, if the government works on it, many farmers will benefit from exports. »

Professor Hela says that Tanzania does not have an organic farming policy and the government is currently working on it. He hopes things will get better soon.

He says that many people in Europe now prefer to wear organic cotton clothes, and that Africa is the leading producer of organic cotton, which is grown in an environmentally friendly way.

Tanzania Organic Agriculture Movement (Toam) chief executive Mr Bakari Mwongo said people are now aware of the benefits, citing preference for indigenous chickens, which he says are part of farming biological.

“The market is very large both inside and outside the country, so Tanzanians should seize this opportunity for their own benefit and that of the nation.”

He says the movement is working with the agriculture ministry to prepare Tanzania’s organic agriculture strategy, which is due to be launched in August. Its objective is to promote organic farming in the country.

JAKARTA – The Bandung Arahmaiani-born artist is known for using her art and activism to fight for the environment, as well as helping local communities apply traditional methods and wisdoms to develop sustainable farms.

Reflecting on today’s environmental perils, renowned artist and environmental activist Arahmaiani persists in her criticism of the government for its lack of action to protect and preserve the environment.

She turned her fury into a performance art called Furious Mother Earth.

The performance begins with Arahmaiani writing the word “alam” (nature) in capital letters on a white wall as her audience sits beside a table covered in clay balls. After she finishes writing, she picks up some of the clay balls and throws them against the wall. She then asks the audience to stand up and throw the balls until the wall is splattered with clay.

The 20-minute performance art is Arahmaiani’s way of visualizing that nature is sick because of humans constantly harming it.

The 60-year-old artist blames humans for many “natural” disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This pandemic is a sign from nature to all of us that we need to change our mindset and our way of life to stop ourselves from causing more destruction on this planet,” she said.

Government Spokesperson
On the national art scene, Arahmaiani is known for using her art to critique religious intolerance and radicalism, as well as calling for interreligious dialogue and peace. However, his recent work primarily explores the relationship between nature and human activity that has led to environmental problems.

She used “furious” in the title of her latest performance, she says, to “convey the message that Mother Earth is furious with us and we will suffer if we are not careful in our behavior towards nature”.

Before the pandemic, Arahmaiani was inspired by President Joko Widodo’s campaign promise to save the environment, which she says was not delivered. So she created a piece called Shadow of the Past, which she performed at the Taman Prasasti Museum in central Jakarta, kissing trees while walking through the museum grounds, her face and hair covered in clay.

Arahmaiani often uses clay symbolically, as its basic components, soil and water, are the sources of all life.

Beyond Art
Arahmaiani used to travel back and forth between Indonesia and Tibet, working with the monks there to start a tree-planting project while also working on his art projects.

Since the arrival of the pandemic and the resulting travel restrictions, she has focused on developing organic farms in Bali and Yogyakarta.

In Yogyakarta, she teamed up with santri (Islamic boarding schools) from Pondok Pesantren Amumarta in Bantul Regency as well as residents and farmers from the Bumi Langit community, also in Bantul.

In Bali, she worked on various conversation projects in collaboration with the Sanggar Paripurna community of Bona village in Gianyar and the Kebun Berdaya community of Tegeh Sari village in Denpasar.

Organic farms designed by these communities have inspired others in nearby Balinese villages to follow suit. “The community-developed organic farms in Bona are designed for rural dwellers, while the community-developed organic farms in Denpasar are designed for urban dwellers,” she explained.

Arahmaiani and communities have used permaculture to develop sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural ecosystems in alignment with local customs and wisdoms.

Permaculture embraces the natural arrangements of thriving ecosystems in the design of productive and self-sufficient human habitats, and is a movement founded by Australian researcher Bill Mollison.

According to Arahmaiani, however, ancestral Indonesians were practicing the technique long before Mollison coined the term in 1978.

“In the past, people saw themselves as part of nature, not as the master of nature. That is why they had a harmonious relationship with nature. In contrast, people in the modern age tend to be destructive. Forests are cleared and natural resources like oil and coal are [taken] for money,” she said.

Ecological Balance: Arahmaiani’s art since the pandemic has focused on the imbalanced and disharmonious relationship between nature and human beings which she believes is the root cause of natural disasters, including COVID-19. (JP/A. Kurniawan Ulung) (JP/A. Kurniawan Ulung)

Beneficial to all
Balinese puppeteer I Made Sidia, who is also artistic director of the Sanggar Paripurna arts center in Gianyar, expressed his gratitude to Arahmaiani for helping his students better understand nature and love local traditions through his art.

He recalls that Arahmaiani once performed one of his famous plays, Flag Project, at Sanggar Paripurna and invited his students to dance during the performance.

“This performance taught us to be open-minded, to love our nation’s noble values, and most importantly, to care for the environment and fellow human beings,” Made said.

He also said that Arahmaiani taught his students to grow vegetables and fruits using organic methods, dividing them into gardening groups with agriculture-inspired names like Kambing (goat), Sapi (cow) , Anjing (dog) and Ayam (chicken) for a gardening contest. at the arts center.

The competition helped students understand the benefits of organic foods and the dangers of pesticides to the human body, Made said.

“They don’t litter now. Before meeting Arahmaiani, they had no discipline to properly dispose of garbage, especially plastic waste. After his stay at Sanggar Paripurna, they had become aware of doing good for the environment,” he said.

Krisna Waworuntu, who runs an organic farm within the Bumi Langit community, said he was grateful to collaborate with Arahmaiani. “Our collaboration is not too artistic but functional, because I want its benefits to be sustainable for society and the environment,” he said.
