The Zambia food change lab
Maize is the predominant crop in Zambia, both in terms of production and consumption, and levels of crop diversity on Zambian farms tend to be very low. The country’s maize-centric food system contributes to poverty, malnutrition, and vulnerability to drought, pests and diseases. Growing a wider variety of nutritious crops is needed in order to improve rural livelihoods, diversify diets, maintain soil fertility and to make farmers more resilient to climate change. The question is how to get farmers and all the other relevant actors on board.
