Restoring the Land, Renewing Hope: Empowering Communities in Zimbabwe

[@ichifish]

I look forward to seeing the happy outcomes in the years to come!

[@mieessaayaachis2336]

This looks great. Empowering local farmers by educating them about the climate change and training them how to care for their land is very important. I hope the participants are local farmers working on this projects and apply the same principles to their farm and landscape.

A great project to report to the Associated Country Women of the World as an exemplar

In October a drought? The rains only begin in November. However, this is a great idea to prevent rain runoff. Every dry country is doing this action of African smiles - half moons, beaver dams, & trenches.

[@Pentagathusosaurus]

They meant the 2023/2024 rain season has been short, hence the current drought.

Great Job!🙏

Drought gets declared in Australia a lot why can't we have a program to dig our deserts and green them 🤔😳

[@raclark2730]

There are similar initiatives in the private sector, for instance natural sequence farming. Agree we should be using this method on a large scale also. Plan to do it myself one day.

THIS IS A GLOBAL ISSUE WE ALL LIVE HERE AND ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO FOOD, WATER AND SHELTER.

[@rauschma]

I’d be interested in seeing locations where these measures were taken some time ago, to see their effects.

[@magesalmanac6424]

Here’s the thing. Tons of videos show the half moon structures but they rarely show the results after rain.

Strange, the people of Rhodesia didn't have any issues feeding the nation....?

[@bod3102]

Beat me to it

[@lamdao1242]

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that when Zimbabwe was Rhodesia, the African people who were NOT able to feed themselves were NOT counted. It’s like South Africa and 9 out of 10 white South African will say that they didn’t think the indigenous populations had it that bad. These white South Africans didn’t seem to notice how schools and universities for Africans were either NOT available or poorly funded, or both, that even certain beaches were reserve for the use of Whites and blacks were there as workers. That’s MOST South African blacks had poor access to electricity vs South African whites. That’s just to name a few small things that meant that perhaps the White governments FAILED to report the food insecurities and POVERTY of their 2nd class citizens. Did that thought ever occur to you?

[@shrimuyopa8117]

@lamdao1242 You are literally making up claims based on services provided in another country? Get out of here! There is ample evidence that PROVES that the Zimbabwean government caused food shortages in the country starting in 2004. They nationalized all of the farms and put natives in charge that had absolutely no idea how to use the farm equipment or farm at all, for that matter. Here is a quote that showed the prowess of Rhodesia's ability to produce food in 1975: "The United Nations Food and Agriculture Year Book of 1975 ranked the then Rhodesia second in the world in terms of yields of maize, wheat, soya beans and ground nuts, and third for cotton. In the combined ranking for all these crops, Rhodesia ranked first in the world." Even in the 1980s and 90s, Mugabe (President and Prime Minister of Zimbabwe) did not nationalize the farms and allowed the white Rhodesian farmers to continue to produce for the nation.

[@anders21karlsson]

So, then it's only countries like USA, China, India, European countries that have to change from fossilfuel then... Piece of cake to change, yeah, Not?. ..

[@erinmorash9334]

Countries like Zimbabwe use vastly lower amounts of fossil fuels than more developed economies. Per capita, Zimbabwe uses 1/10 of what the US uses. Zimbabwe's rural infrastructure is basic enough that it could benefit from wind power and cut that percentage; it would easier to maintain and easier to have a interconnected grid that could also be decoupled if weather events took part of the system down. Establishing food infrastructure for people and stabilizing water availability is a higher priority.

[@DaleneGroenewald-tr9yl]

To think that Zimbabwe was the most proserous country when under English control. What a shame!!!!!!

[@baepy]

Linking colonialism with climate change and drawing the conclusion that things were better during colonial rule is exactly what a coloniser would say
