13.1 Introduction
Persistent and resilient food insecurity afflicts smallholder farmers throughout
much of East and Southern Africa, including Tanzania, where more than 80% of
people in rural areas are involved in agriculture and charcoal production (Rioux
et al. 2017; Mwampamba 2007). With such a large proportion of the population
involved, agriculture in Tanzania acts as an economic driver of the national economy and presents a way out of poverty (Hansen et al. 2018). However, rural livelihoods in Tanzania are at risk. Farmland is near universally rain-fed, and already
susceptible to droughts and weather variability. While current predictions indicate
