The landlocked southern African country is prone to drought and floods, and the overuse of land resources has degraded soils, making it difficult for farmers to get more from their land.
Soil quality, water quality, climate, and terrain are just a few of the environmental issues that may impact profits and productivity for farmers in any given growing season.
The major challenges agriculture faces today include climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss. Satisfy consumers’ changing tastes and expectations. Meet rising demand for more food of higher quality.
Zambia can improve its agriculture sector with opportunities that include large-scale farming, farm inputs and equipment supply, irrigation systems, agro-processing, and commodity trading. The sector would benefit from investment in mechanization
With agriculture accounting for about 65 percent of the region’s employment and 75 percent of its domestic trade, significant progress in reducing hunger and poverty across the region depends on the development and transformation of the agricultural sector in Zambia.
Join us on the sustainable challenge, and together, we can make a difference!
