Climate-smart agriculture to boost productivity

19

THE adoption of climate-smart agriculture will help boost productivity in the country and shield farmers against the ravaging effects of climate change, a leading economic advisory and investment firm has said.
This comes as changing weather patterns have already affected Zimbabwe’s food security situation, as well as more than 60 percent of Zimbabweans who depend on agriculture for their livelihood.

According to the 2022 Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment (ZIMVAC) report, more than 3,8 million rural individuals are already food insecure until the next harvesting season in April next year due to drought.
