Reading farming matters - "The right way to use my free time"

November 2010: I am a regular reader of the Leisa, and now Farming Matters magazine which I have found to be very informative and educative.

My work with the farming and fishing [rural] communities of Sinazongwe district in Zambia's Southern province requires that I am up to date with new innovations which can help to reduce shocks against harsh climatic conditions typical of this place-recurrent droughts, flash floods, livestock diseases among others.

The articles in the magazines are not only easy to read, but they are also something I have referred to in my academic pursuits.

I have attached one photo taken on a day I was out "in the field". I found my 'Farming Matters' to be the right way to use my free time on this particular day."

Our flmaiy is involved in some mission work in a christian school in Zambia. As we look towards the education of these orphans we keep coming back to the idea that they must learn to grow their own food. We live on a farm and have experience in both growing vegetables and raising chickens, cows for beef and milk, pigs, goats, turkeys, and ducks. We have some knowledge in sustainable farming and are currently practicing it. We also have knowledge in preserving food and saving seeds. We can't help but think we could help these people. We would be willing to pack up and move to Zambia, we are just not sure how we would be able to provide for our flmaiy while there. Do you have any wisdom to give in this area? Thank you.
