Zimmern in Zambia - Episode 2: The Gwembe Greenhouse, Part 1

In January 2021, the U.N. World Food Programme built a hydroponics greenhouse at Gwembe Primary School to supplement school meals and improve students’ health, nutrition and education. Since the first harvest of vegetables in February 2021, the school has produced nearly 2,000 pounds of vegetables. The greenhouse is now run entirely by the students.
With hydroponics, communities can grow food with a limited amount of water. For a drought-prone region, this innovation is vital to ensuring schoolchildren have the food they need to focus on their studies.
Chef Andrew Zimmern, a new Goodwilll Ambassador of the U.N. World Food Programme, visited the school in April of 2023 and met some of the incredible students. Subscribe and follow along for more!
