Postcard from the Field: A Village Elder Learns and Shares New Techniques in Agriculture
Farmers are faced with new challenges in Mozambique, including the cycle of frequent droughts and drenching rains. Through her involvement with the Resilient Agricultural Markets Activity project in the Beira Corridor of Mozambique, this family farmer is learning how to increase productivity, profitability, and resilience of her farm through the adoption of conservation agricultural practices, like low/no tillage, soil coverage, and crop diversification.
Key to the success of this work is training of model family farmers who demonstrate the benefits of conservation agriculture in their own fields.
