Africa, is a continent with 10% of the world’s population and 30% of the world’s natural resources in terms of clean water, forests and arable land. Africa’s untapped potential rests, not in the abundant mineral wealth of the continent, but rather, in the rich arable soils that have the potential to sustain and dominate global commodity markets.
Zimbabwe was known as the ‘Bread Basket of Southern Africa’ and is the birth-place of a method and message of stewardship and conservation agriculture that has the power to transform communities and feed nations! Foundations for Farming (formerly Farming God’s Way) is a proudly Zimbabwean organization that exists to promote the message of hope and equip communities to feed themselves and make a profit.
In order to serve the nation, the vision of the African Union and the United Nations, Foundations for Farming is offering free ‘Pfumvudza’ training sessions at their training site outside Harare every Tuesday at 9am to 1pm from 6 August until the rains begin. ‘Pfumvudza’ is an exciting concept that will equip people to feed their families for the whole year! (Resthaven, 6 Weston Rd, Glen Forest, off Domboshawa Rd 25km from Harare CBD).
If Zimbabweans do not begin to prepare now and plant on, or before, 25 November 2013 we will experience further food shortages in our nation. Foundations for Farming teachings have been adopted by the Zimbabwean Government (Agritex and Ministry of Education), United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), the Common Markets of East and Southern Africa (COMESA), United Nations International Children’s Education Fund (UNICEF) and several other international and local development organizations.
