Organizing the rural poor into groups provides a voice and forum, which enable them to become conscious of their situation and conditions. It can provide the opportunity to explore the possibilities of various situations to their problems so as to improve their standard of living. This suggests that it is easier to induce social change by involving groups of people rather than attempting it through individual contact. Before the current economic trauma in Zimbabwe, there was evidence that farmers groups which sprung up all over had a significant impact on agricultural production. In 1983 maize production rose over 50% thanks to the labour sharing arrangement. This means that pooling together resources for example labours will help farmers achieve what they could not achieve individually. Extension systems have also adopted the use of farmers groups so as to reach a greater number of its intended beneficiaries. For example, the food security group members in Chalinze village grow vegetable for food and cash. There are several reasons for growth vegetables, but the most important one is for food. Currently the World is in severe food shortage resulting from the rising use of food for fuel, global warming, and sky rocketing prices of oil in the world market. For the same reasons Tanzania is facing the same crisis. The extent of the severeness of the food shortage is further increased in rural areas of Tanzania where by a lot of energetic young people migrate to urban area in search of a secure employment at the expense of agricultural production in rural areas. Tanzania of which economy depends on peasant agriculture is busy finding ways to feed its people supposedly to be producers. Under those circumstances farmer groups will provide sustainable solution to food insecurity.
The practice of providing intensive assistance to a small number of progressive farmers and expecting that the effect of such assistance will reach other farmers directly by autonomous diffusion processes is not realistic and leads to increased social and economic inequality. On the other hand, emphasis on promoting self-reliant local groupings appears to be in conformity with the growing opinion in the world that the main constraints crippling agriculture in the developing countries are man-made. In other words there is no way one can achieve sustainable agricultural development in rural area without organizing peasants into formal groups.
The overall objective of the study was to assess the role of Food Security Groups in improving vegetable production in Chalinze village. The design of the study was a cross-sectional survey. Primary data were collected by using questionnaire. A sample size of respondents was randomly drawn by using a table of random numbers. Food Security Groups play a significant role in improving both vegetable production and food security for the household members. Food Security Groups allow group members to communicate and exchange ideas with other group members. Furthermore the groups can easily be reached by development agents. The findings of this study highlighted the role of food security groups in improving food security. Furthermore the findings shed light and provide strategies, which will be used by policy makers, local and regional planners as well as other development partners who are interested in improving the situation of food security and Food Security Groups. The conclusions and recommendations emanating from the study are presented in the full paper.
