Afrikans created the first civilizati on, and with it, the fi rst metho ds of sustai ning a people. Tribes famous in Tanzania for farming in t he ujamaa style i nclude the Nyaturu, Nyeramba, and Nyisanzu, Warangi, and Wairaq. There is no one famous farmer--there are Afrikan men and women, wo rking to su stain thei r families and their peo ple. The re are only t hree weste rn style groce ry stores in Northern Tanzania. T here are hundreds of open ai r markets. T hese are fille d with produce that is grown in e very yard, every back ro ad an d every main road throughout the regi on. Seven ty percent of the Tanzanian population grows food.
