Deal #5900

Training of communities surrounding the two Silverlands grains farms in Central Zambia (SZL and SASL) is assisted by our partner, Foundations for Farming, and includes the key conservation agriculture principles. Demonstration plots are run on the Silverlands farms and by community groups in surrounding areas, with roughly 200 people regularly attending training sessions. We have partnered with Foundations for Farming for a number of years and commission them to run training sessions at the Silverlands’ demonstration plots and in surrounding areas. The focus is on conservation farming methods such as minimum tillage, composting and mulching, and crop rotation, with additional modules on finances and family principles.
