Perks of Conservation Farming

Joana Murambasvina, a Lead Farmer in one of the Farmer Field School, in ward 13 of Zaka district in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. The farmer was trained on conservation farming (CF) principles in October 2023. After implementing principles of CF such as basin making, mulching, 75 cm x 75 cm spacing, proper application of fertilizer etc, the farmer is expecting better yield even though there was less rainfall in 2023/24 farming season. Climate change is real, less implement proper farming technology. We grateful to the support that we are getting from Zimbabwe Government Key line ministries and our partners Act for peace and Global Mission Partner, from Australia for the support on building community resilience to drought.
