A holistic approach—integrating diversified crops, livestock feed production, and sustainable agricultural practices—strengthens smallholder farming systems. Each component reinforces the other, improving resilience, productivity, and incomes. #FoodSecurity Everywhere, Everyday.

Agriculture must be treated as an enterprise that creates jobs, feeds the nation, and contributes to economic growth. Farmers are encouraged to embrace record keeping, value addition, market research, and digital tools to grow farming into a profitable venture.

Proper and timely planning—land prep, input sourcing, and seasonal forecasting—ensures farmers surpass targets. With adequate preparation, farmers reduce risks, maximize yields, and guarantee household and national food security. Productive farming starts with a solid plan.

Rural communities must shift from being economic spectators to becoming economic participants. Agriculture is the engine—through land access, irrigation, input support, and market integration, smallholders can now produce, process, and profit. #FoodSecurity Everywhere, Everyday

A dam is no longer just a water source — it is now an economy. Each must incorporate six components: water reservation, irrigation, power generation, fisheries, water reticulation, and wastewater management. This model is what the Government now requires to benefit communities.

Smallholder farmers are the backbone of Zimbabwe’s food system, contributing over 70% of grain production. Government continues to support them through input provision, training in agronomic practices, and small-scale irrigation schemes to boost productivity and rural livelihoods

As Zimbabwe’s agricultural sector continues to grow rapidly, the focus must now shift to the adoption of best management practices. This includes proactive disease and pest control in both crops and livestock to ensure higher productivity and a more resilient food system.

Joint venture contract farming is transforming Zimbabwe’s agricultural landscape by unlocking value from land through partnerships. This model has proven successful in increasing productivity and securing food for the nation. Farmers must embrace this sustainable path to success.

Integrated farming thrives by combining crops, livestock, aquaculture, and renewable energy into a single, efficient system. This holistic approach not only maximizes resource use but also builds resilience, diversifies income, and reduces environmental impact. #FoodSecurity

Empowering rural communities is central to sustainable food systems. When women, youths, and smallholder farmers are equipped with land access, finance, training, and markets, they become key players in ensuring national food security.
