Agriculture in Southern Africa during drought

I’ve just had a very interesting conversation with https://www.thebutterflytree.org.uk/ a small charity working in southern Zambia. They started their work supporting schools.

They are facing some serious issues with lack of food for schools and I guess the situation in Zimbabwe is similar with late rains and high temperatures over the growing season.

• What advice do we have for growing crops other than maize and sorghum? • Would there be any possibility of collaborating?

Some background to The Butterfly Tree, they started in education and supporting school but have had to respond to other related issues so now work in health, especially in malaria and HIV activities, they have also helped in developing boreholes and are more recently looking into agricultural issues so they don’t have much experience here. That is why they have contacted us at Practical Action with our long experience of working in Agriculture.
