Water harvesting in a changing climate in Zimbabwe

[@m.sualisumohammed6247]

An African initiative for Africans. I hope this skills gets to many so that they can stop perishing in waiting for external aide and take action for their own wellbeing. 👏👏👏

[@ollievw3450]

Marvellous video. This is exactly what we are aiming to achieve with our foundation in South African communities.

[@monicacruz4407]

What a hopeful film, I hope you can teach your techniques to many. These projects are literally and metaphysically saving the earth. If you can also mulch heavily you can save and create even more soil full of microorganisms to grow plants that sequester carbon. Maybe get in touch with The Permaculture Institute, maybe they can help in some way. All the best to you and your community 🌱❤️🌱

Amazing project and already wonderful results, so inspiring. Yes, I agree,, I looked but didn’t see much evidence of the use of mulch. The benefits of mulch in terms of water retention, preventing soil compaction and erosion , improved soil structure, fertility and microbial and fungal well being are well tested and documented. Effective mulching above the earth dams will reduce erosion and silting. As Monica said please investigate Permaculture.

thank you Solomon and we look forward to working with you too!

Thank you bro. We try. One love to our Botswana family

​@@Pelumzim i have been wondering why there were not more projects for creating swales in the country given how we struggle with water supply, have you heard of the work of geoff lawton, he is on youtube as well i recommend looking into his work, especially on agroforestry, you might find inspiration from it.

[@michelod.i.y.5202]

Excellent, very inspiring, thanks for posting

[@ENVS-jm3in]

Thanks you for such a rich sharing Madyira. I had the privilege of witnessing the development of things at your homestead since 2016 and can only agree with you about how much work over time will reward in the end. All the best with this good work that will inevitably inspire future generations. Regards

we are happy that you found the video inspiring.

[@racebiketuner]

Thanks for sharing. We have many similar problems in California due to a century of "old school" farming methods. The vast majority of farmers continue practices that reduce soil fertility. There are a few of us doing small scale soil remediation, myself included. I would like to think we're making a difference, but economic pressure makes it nearly impossible.

Do it!! It's that simple. You will THRIVE

Wonderful man and very eloquent; we cannot depend on the governments and corporations, we as individuals have to take care and restore the natural balance no matter where you are.

With this knowledge villages will become business entities and rural life will improve

The best description of water farming

[@BCC1442]

Amazing..

[@bernadettemccluskey2812]

Great video. You may already know about permaculture, chop and drop to grow your own soil, and the benefits of no-dig growing: they are all being used to great effect in India where land is very dry too. Geoff Lawton in Australia is using this system. If you don't know about it already, please look it up as I think it could really help you to retain water in the soil. Ernst Gotsche in Brazil has turned very bad soil into top quality soil using chop and drop permaculture method. Wishing all the best to you and yours :)

[@GrumpyTinashe]

Thanks for the names you highlighted I'll search on KZbin. Cheers

Io mi occupo di vertical farming che producono anche energia elettrica 24 ore su 24. Compreso la produzione continua di foraggio per qualunque tipo di animali, pesci,uccelli,ecc. In acqua ponica, quadriponica. Carne e latte, tantissimi altri prodotti ad alto valore nutrizionale. Il tutto a circuito chiuso totalmente green.

[@remoconan8720]

this guy seems arrogant to me talking down to farmers blaming them for siltation and erosion; Zaphania Phiri Maseko would not have approved this approach - he empowered the communities to build their water harvesting systems not make haughty remarks and then try to make a sales for his school. all learning should be free and in this instance where it builds flourishing and sustainable farming communities is an asset for the future of the countries food security and provides income and employment; this should not be seen as an opportunity to exploit farmers having access to knowledge and water system management and harvesting technologies.

It's a shame that LGBT people are not protected in your country ! I wish I could come and visit this beautiful place and give a hand too ! My father spent a lot of time in your country, I've always wanted to go see the nature there ... keep it pristine until your mind open to different peoples ! (By the way ... this tradition of violence on LGBT people come directly from your own oppressor the United Kingdom ... you might want to ditch that too ?!?)

@Maude Potvin.. what an inapproprate comment on this amazing educational and wonderful clip.. you are actually sowing seeds of discord here and are very disrepectful.. farming, rainwater harvesting and LGBT issues are not remotely related at all.. find the right platform..... what this amazing gentleman is doing is teaching us about African solutions for African problems using home grown Indigenous knowledge systems.. One of the biggest problems we have in Africa Zimbabwe as a whole is outsiders/donors/charity Aid organization and individuals coming in and thinking they know what is good for Africa and Africans and talking down to people as you are doing... have some respect if not for others for yourself..this is not the place for your choosen topic...I am sure there are many many platforms within the Zimbabwean community where you csn discuss LGBT issues to your heart's content.. the two topics are not related.. People in Zimbabwe as you can see are well organized and are doing it for themselves.. please stay where you are.. I am sure there are problems in your own country that you can help with.. we don't need you in Zimbabwe thank you very much!
