FACHIG Trust participated in a Biomonitoring training under the Holistic Land and Livestock Management programme at MusoroMuchena Skills for Life in Makonde, held on 14–15 April.

This training strengthened participants’ understanding of how biodiversity (plants, insects, and microorganisms ) can be used to assess ecosystem health and inform smarter land use. It also included practical sessions on mapping and planned grazing, with a strong focus on biodiversity protection and climate resilience.

Participants gained practical skills through hands-on learning, guided demonstrations, and discussions on how to integrate biomonitoring in the community.
The two representatives from FACHIG will share the knowledge and lessons gained back to their respective communities through community training and follow-up sessions.

FACHIG Trust extends sincere appreciation to PELUM Zimbabwe and partner organizations for facilitating this impactful training.

🌱Happy International Seeds Day 🌱

📌 We often focus on the harvest, but it begins much earlier—with the seed.

📢 This year’s theme "Seeds for Resilient and Sustainable Food Systems"

✨ On International Seeds Day, we recognize the importance of local seed saving and the protection of biodiversity for resilient food systems and thriving communities.

FACHIG Trust participated in a Learning Exchange hosted by Trust in Victoria Falls/Hwange from 24–25 February.

The exchange reflected on the impact of HLLM in communities where implementation has been ongoing and explored Participatory Action Research (PAR) in newly engaged communities focusing on seed systems and documentation of their work.

FACHIG was represented by one officer, an Agritex Extension Officer, and a Lead Farmer who will cascade the knowledge and lessons gained back to their respective communities.

IGugu Trust farmers demonstrated strong interest in agroecological practices, particularly the adoption of bio-fertilisers and Bokashi in their fields following a training conducted under Zimbabwe

FACHIG Trust extends sincere appreciation to PELUM Zimbabwe for this opportunity and looks forward to implementing and strengthening the practices and insights gained through this exchange.

🌿 Strengthening Agroecological Practice Through Knowledge Sharing
Earlier FACHIG Trust participated in a four-day training on soil health and bio-fertilizer production, hosted by TSURO Trust and made possible through the support of PELUM Zimbabwe.
🧪 This training focused on practical, farmer-friendly approaches to improving soil fertility and resilience—a key component of agroecological transformation. Sessions included hands-on demonstrations, knowledge exchanges, and peer learning on local bio-fertilizer solutions.
We were honored to learn alongside fellow PELUM Zimbabwe network members, including:
• ZIMSOFF
• PORET Trust
• Musoro Muchena Skills for Life
• Zivakwakabva Trust
• Muonde Trust
• CELUO
• SCOPE Zimbabwe
🌱 These collaborative efforts not only enhanced our technical capacity, but also deepened our shared commitment to building healthy soils, sustainable food systems, and climate-resilient livelihoods in Zimbabwe.
We extend our gratitude to the facilitators, organizers, and everyone for their contributions and spirit of solidarity.
