  • Can Africa improve its marketing?
    Smallscale farmers are not always able to sell their produce, or even reach a market. But there are ways they can improve their products, so that they are more competitive when they do reach the marketplace. The market is a rapidly changing environment. Expectations from buyers change and prices change fast. How are farmers adapting to the changes – are they becoming creative, or are they losing their way?

  • Applying local know-how
    Farmers are natural innovators – they are always looking for ways to achieve bigger and better yields. ‘Innovation’ means taking an idea from one place and adapting it to better suit your own circumstances. It’s a new way of looking at the world: of changing the old, to meet the new.
  • Access to resources – it’s my right!
    A major source of conflict in the modern world is access to resources. Whether it’s land or water, every community needs access to basic natural resources in order to survive. But there are some people who are unable to gain rights to basic resources.

  • Trapping plant food in the soil
    The soil beneath our feet is vital. It is where plants and vegetables get their food from. Decomposing organic matter such as manure provides structure for the soil and releases nutrients which are beneficial in food production. One of them is carbon, and higher carbon is associated with increased soil fertility. But carbon can escape from the soil into the atmosphere, and contribute to global warming in the form of carbon dioxide.
  • Money talks – big business
    A big problem for farmers in many parts of Africa is getting their produce to the market. Even good quality produce can rot in a short period of time. If the roads are bad, or if storage is not secure, food can arrive at the market in a poor condition and customers will not buy damaged goods – whether they are individuals in the market or quality inspectors in a business.
  • Healing pastoral conflict 2
    The world is not getting any bigger, but every day there are more people to fill it. Populations are getting larger, while spaces are getting smaller. For pastoralists and nomadic communities, this is becoming more of a problem. Nomadic people must move around to find essential natural resources, such as water and green pastures. But with less space to move in, they are not as free to graze their livestock. And to make the problem worse, at certain times of the year, there are longer dry seasons and less rain.
