‘Implement agro-ecology policy to combat climate change’

INTERNATIONAL relief organisation, VSO, has amplified calls for the implementation of the agro-ecology policy as the country and the region continue to battle the El Niño-induced drought.

Hopes for the implementation of the policy remain high as government has since made calls for smallholder farmers to adopt agro-ecology as a climate resilience technique.

VSO country lead Tecla Ponde told NewsDay that Zimbabwe needs an agro-ecology policy to enhance sustainability and create synergies, adding that it is a conduit for enhanced food security for smallholder farmers and the country at large.
