Soils for the Future Tanzania

At Soils for the Future Tanzania (SftFTZ), our vision is to restore Tanzania’s degraded grasslands and savanna ecosystems to benefit nature and people – particularly those who depend directly on the land. By working with pastoral communities, we enhance grazing and fire management practices to increase soil carbon storage, a crucial step in strengthening climate resilience. This stored carbon is used to create carbon credits that can be sold to support these management activities, creating a sustainable funding model that supports land restoration and local livelihoods.

Partnering with Pastoralists for a Sustainable Future

Pastoralists play a vital role in managing and restoring their lands. Our approach reinforces traditional pastoral practices, ensuring that grazing remains a sustainable, resilient and hopefully primary livelihood. By collaborating with SftFTZ, pastoral communities increase soil carbon, which is converted into carbon credits—providing long-term financial support for cultural and ecological sustainability.
