Nexus between agriculture and livestock sectors in Kenya and Tanzania
This article examines the evolving integration of farming and livestock keeping in Kenya and Tanzania, and its impact on livelihoods, land use, food security, and the environment. It finds that “hybrid” agropastoral livelihoods, which blend these activities, are increasingly common as communities adapt to ecological pressure, land scarcity, and market changes. However, this integration is hindered by insecure land rights, gender inequality, conse…
Trends in agricultural land use and cereal production in Tanzania
Over six decades (1961–2021), Tanzania's agriculture transformed significantly due to population growth, policy shifts, and climate variability. Agricultural land expanded by 52% and arable land by 160%, but rapid population growth (3.38% annually) caused per capita arable land to drop by 57%. Cereal production surged 1,160%, supported by land expansion and yield improvements (from 805.7 kg/ha to 1,828.3 kg/ha). However, productivity remains belo…
The Dynamics of Natural Population Increase and Urbanization in East Africa
The question of whether urbanization represents a boon or a bane for developing nations has triggered enduring discourse within academic and political spheres. Notwithstanding the persistent deliberations, scant attention has been devoted to examining the influence of natural population augmentation in propelling urbanization. Therefore, this study bridges this gap through a heterogeneous panel data analysis employing the use of Mean Group, Dynam…

Equity in the public social healthcare protection in Tanzania
Efforts to promote equity in healthcare involve implementing policies and programs that address the root causes of healthcare disparities and promote equal access to care. One such program is the public social healthcare protection schemes. However, like many other developing countries, Tanzania has low health insurance coverage, hindering its efforts to achieve universal health coverage. This study examines the role of equity in public social he…
Climate change-induced livelihood adaptive strategies and perceptions of forest-dependent communities
Many South African rural communities depend directly or indirectly on natural forests to meet their livelihoods. Climate change can alter many of the mutual relationships between rural communities and natural resources (forests) by posing a variety of new challenges to these resources, agriculture, biodiversity, rural livelihoods and food (in) security. This study aimed to assess how forest-dependent rural communities perceive climate change and …
