‘Competition, counterfeit agroecological produce curtails agroecological entrepreneurs’

PELUM Zimbabwe is an organisation working through member organisations to support small-scale farmers, with the aim of promoting sustainable livelihoods.

Agroecology is defined as an academic discipline, agricultural practice and movement that applies ecological principles to agricultural production systems.
