TAPHGO wameandaa mkutano na wadau mbalimbali kama CEDESOTA, PINGOs na wadau wengine wanaojihusisha  na ufugaji asilia kujadili sheria namba 5 (1999) ya ardhi ya vijiji. Mkutano huo umefanyika tarehe 1 / 7/ 2015 Equator Hotel, Arusha.  Lengo la ufugaji asilia ni kuongeza pato la taifa na kukidhi maisha ya wafugaji.

Kulingana na sheria ya ardhi iliopo kuna baadhi ya vipengele ambavyo wadau hao wameona vinahitaji marekebisho na maboresho kwa sababu vina mapungufu. Pia kuna zingine za kuongeza ivo wameandaa hoja za msingi na kwa pamoja wamechambua na watawasilisha kwa serikali kwa ajili ya mapitio ili iweze kusaidia kwenye kuboresha sheria ya ardhi.

I read with great interest a recent paper by Helen Dancer and Emmanuel Sulle on “Gender Implications of Agricultural Commercialisation: the Case of Sugarcane Production in Kilombero District, Tanzania”. In their paper they highlightsome literature on gender and commercial agricultural investments, the policy and legal framework governing investments and the extent to which gender is mainstreamed across board, and the specific gender implications in different models of large-scale agricultural investments.
