Agroecology for home and market
A winning combination for rural communities in Mashonaland East, Zimbabwe
The primary objective of this project has been to promote a shift to agroecological farming. This involves rebuilding soil organic matter and protecting it from further depletion, and promoting are turn to productive diversity through intercropping and rotation. By increasing biodiversity and habitats, farmers are restoring the balance between pests and their natural predators and attracting pollinators to improve yields. Such diversity is not only important in restoring the balance of nature, it also minimizes farmer dependence on costly inputs.
