Nature + Project, Seed Bank Enhances Climate Change Adaptation

In a bid to build resilient rural livelihoods while adapting to climate change, villagers from Chimanimani district have established a traditional grains seed bank which is expected to benefit the province.

The initiative, supported by Towards Sustainable Use of Resources Organization, TSURO Trust’s Nature positive food systems for climate change adaptation project, aims to promote sustainable food systems and conserve biodiversity.

This culminated in a seed fair in which villagers in the Nemakonde area, showcased different traditional grains at Bumba Primary School.

The project funded by the Global Affairs Canada through the Canadian Food Grains Bank for three years aims to foster nature -positive food systems for enhanced climate change adaptation.

In an interview on the sidelines of the seed fair, Nature Plus Project Manager Mrs Roselyn Mukonoweshuro, said farmers are being taught natural farming methods like nature based solutions.
