Improving food security through sustainable farming in urban schools in Zimbabwe

 

Zimbabwe grapples with persistent challenges in food security and nutrition, worsened by natural and economic shocks, which have led to chronic malnutrition, particularly among children.

 

Recognizing this, SGP has been supporting the civil society organization SCOPE Zimbabwe since 2017. Focused on agroecology projects targeting youth, SCOPE’s environmental education program helps schools redesign and optimize land use for sustainable resource use.

 

In 2022, SGP supported SCOPE to launch the Green Schools for Nutrition Enhancement Project in the cities of Harare, Gweru, and Bulawayo.
