Great initiative from the FAO & UN Agencies pushing towards women's empowerment that will no doubt lead to sustainable food systems. We were told farmers yield 30% more when women are involved in farming. Let us continue to mainstream women in agric. @UN_CFS @FAO @FAOZimbabwe

Water woes in Nyanga, Kute area! Climate change is real. Ponds drying up due to upstream water extraction, resulting in premature harvesting of stocked fish. Time to rethink water strategies! Climate proof your Aquaculture business.

With requirements of feed standing at 120,000MT to reach our target of 60,000MT for self sufficiency, we need new players on board. Partnerships like this one will be instrumental in achieving inclusive growth, food security, and sustainable livelihoods. #Fishfeeds #sectorgrowth
