Christian Care is continuing the second year of a three year program to alleviate critical food insecurity for 480 households in the Chirumhanzu and Nyaminyami districts in Zimbabwe. To recover from perennial droughts the farmers will participate in conservation farming which is a farming technique that aims at optimizing yields using very minimal resources in terms of seed, fertilizers and water and it also significantly reduces soil disturbance while improving soil texture and fertility.
