| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study revealed how villagers in the semi-arid Dodoma Region, central Tanzania, secured everyday food in spite of a shortage of and a degradation in land for farming and grazing. As an overall shortage of land makes it difficult to maintain the semi-nomadic way of “traditional” agro-pastoralism, farmlands have expanded into hitherto underutilized riversides and seasonal swamps. At the same time, villagers have increasingly engaged in income-generating measures other than farming and livestock keeping, many of which are dependent upon dwindling forest resources. In some frontier areas of Dodoma Region, an increasing number of cases of small and medium-scale land enclosures by wealthy investors and agro-pastoralist migrants have led to bitter competition for land. Coupled with the rapid increase in the number of tractors, a commercialized form of agro-pastoralism aggravates the land problems even further due to the mutually reinforcing relationship between farming and pastoralism.
