MAM: With the increasing challenges of water scarcity in Zimbabwe due to climate change, how do you envision the future of sustainable farming at Zvikomborero Farms?
DN: The challenges of water scarcity in Zimbabwe, exacerbated by climate change, are indeed pressing. The 2023-2024 season was particularly difficult due to the impact of El Niño, which brought significant hardships. However, at Zvikomborero Farms, we are committed to overcoming these challenges and envisioning a future of sustainable farming.

Water-harvesting Dr. Divine Ndhlukula – Breaking Barriers and Transforming Industries
We are actively exploring options such as water harvesting and harnessing techniques to ensure a reliable water supply. Of late, we have been desilting and expanding our dams at the farm to harvest more water in the anticipated better season just around the corner. We have also added more boreholes that use renewable energy for pumping the water.

Collaborating with experienced partners is a key strategy for us, allowing us to tap into their expertise and innovative solutions. At Zvikomborero Farms, we believe in continuous learning. You will see myself and my team working closely with experts, attending workshops, and seeking guidance to stay ahead of the curve in sustainable farming practices.

Our goal is to create a resilient and sustainable farming system that not only adapts to the changing climate but also thrives despite it. By embracing new technologies and knowledge, we are determined to secure a prosperous future for Zvikomborero Farms and contribute positively to the agricultural sector in Zimbabwe.
