The results are in! We asked and farmers answered. Small-scale farmers are responsible for approximately 75 per cent of agricultural production in Tanzania, making an important contribution to the economy, but they often feel their voices are not being heard.

The response was overwhelming, with nearly 9,000 small-scale farmers making their voices heard through the free radio- and phone-based poll.
