AGRICULTURE
Over the years Help International have supported a new strategy for tackling farming within Gweru, Zimbabwe. This strategy looks at the way in which farming is used to empower local people to produce bulk harvest. The ongoing process has allowed farms to thrive and villages to be supported within Gweru.
The continual help and support from Help International has enabled the working farm to sustain its harvest crop year on year, feeding many around.
With the demands of the ever-changing weather forecasts due to climate change the farm has now introduced a new drip irrigation system. This system irrigates two hectares out of three; it is very effective and uses less water.
