This booklet was developed by the Zimbabwe Traditional and Organic Food Forum, a group of organisations working together to combat these challenges by promoting local and organic seeds and foods.
The Seed and Knowledge Initiative (SKI) is a dynamic partnership of diverse southern African organisations committed to securing food sovereignty in the region.
