Blind trust is when someone trusts you with everything they have assuming that you’re their safe space. Never ever betray people like that because it’s difficult to regain their trust. In fact that betrayal affects how they relate to themselves and whoever is around them. Peace!

Agricultural research must be translated into practice. For innovation to be impactful, it must move from academic repositories to the field, be tested and adapted, with farmers actively involved in the process. #FoodSecurity Everywhere, Everday

Just like Muhammad Ali punished Ernie Terrell for not calling him using his real name, your mission in life should be to make people remember your name. Your name is all you have so do great things so that even when you’re no longer there people remember you. Peace!

Smallholder farmers remain the heartbeat of Zimbabwe’s food systems, contributing over 70% of the country’s grain production. Empowering them with access to finance, inputs, and training unlocks productivity, promotes rural livelihoods, and secures national food security.

Expanding smallholder irrigation schemes through affordable technologies and community-led water systems empowers farmers to grow crops all year round. With efficient water use and targeted training, drylands can be transformed into thriving hubs of food production.

Zimbabwe’s National Blue Economy Strategy promotes sustainable growth of the fisheries and aquaculture sector, targeting a USD1 billion industry by 2030 through governance, innovation, and community-based aquatic farming.
