This beautifully mulched Pfumvudza plot represents resilience, preparation, and partnership.

As Zimbabwe gears up for the 2025/26 season, Fambidzanai Permaculture Centre (FPC) and its allies are working hand-in-hand with government efforts to meet ambitious targets:

✅ 450,000 tonnes of sorghum
✅ 220,000 tonnes of pearl millet

Mulching, as seen here in action, is a game-changer for dryland farmers. It conserves moisture, suppresses weeds, and shields fragile soils from erosion. In districts like Hurungwe, Nyaminyami, Mbire, and Muzarabani, where rainfall can be erratic and soils vulnerable, with mulching, the above targets are achievable.
