ZANE Foundations for Farming Training Programmes

ZANE trains local communities in the high-density areas surrounding Zimbabwe's major cities in sustainable farming methods. The vision is to demonstrate a model of community life which will allow grassroots communities to help to rebuild their broken country from the bottom up in a sustainable way.


We will urge each of the farmers to plant half of their crop using compost and half using fertiliser and then compare the output from these two areas. The purpose of this is to demonstrate to the farmers how effective compost is in the production of maize and build their confidence in this method. Ultimately, we want the farmers to use compost exclusively in a bid to encourage self-sufficiency.


In each of the areas we plan to have a demonstration garden at a very visible site so as to ‘advertise’ this amazing and beneficial tool that we have. All the farmers have been given two weeks to prepare their land before we assess their efforts and give string for demarcating the plots, seed and fertilizer where appropriate. Stringent rules must be followed and numerous follow ups taken in order to achieve the excellence required for the method to be successful.

To ensure that this strategic work continues, please donate today.
