The “land sharing or land sparing”conundrum:Southern Agricultural GrowthCorridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT)ARDD Learning Event 1Rio + 20Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, June 18, 2012

SAGCOT strategy● Implementing Kilimo Kwanza in the southern corridor● 350,000 hectares of new agriculture● $3.4 billion of investment● 1.3M tons/year of new grain production● 3,500 tons/year of new red meat production

SAGCOT geography

SAGCOT cluster concept

Key issues for agricultural productivity,sustainability, land, and water in SAGCOT Forests, Wildlife, and Protected Areas

Land-sharing, land-sparing options inSAGCOT● Land-sparing:  Sustainable crop intensification to reduce village land-clearing  Sust. livestock intensification with rotational grazing (not pastoralists)  Increased irrigation efficiency  Protection of water sources for irrigation● Land-sharing ● Re-open permeable wildlife corridors through farmlands through by modifying production practices and adding habitat features ● REDD+ forest buffer zone management with farming communities ● Agroforestry-- vegetative cover for hydrological and habitat benefits ● Irrigation infrastructure designed for multi-use (social, econ, environ.) ● Co-management of pastoral herds and wildlife

Conclusions1) Real life strategies to ensure full range of products and services from landscapes will require both land-sparing and land-sharing2) Major agricultural investment programs need to design land-sparing and land-sharing as part of collaborative spatial planning3) Agricultural Green Growth (AGG) framework must incorporate eco-friendly practices/business, coordination to achieve ecosystem goals, stakeholder forums, and market and policy incentives
