Climate

In Zambia, climate-smart vegetable gardens are helping communities respond to food insecurity and climate challenges, combining traditional knowledge with modern farming practices. They offer practical, hands-on learning in how to grow food more sustainably and strengthen local resilience.

Across West Africa, deforestation driven by agricultural expansion is depleting forests, destabilizing water systems and weakening communities’ resilience to climate change. Solidaridad is working with smallholder farmers in Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone to reverse this trend through a range of initiatives.

Smallholder farmers across Zambia are on the frontlines of a changing climate, and they’re not waiting for solutions to come to them. At a recent field day hosted in Katete, they demonstrated how improved soil management, smarter water use and digital climate tools are already transforming the way they farm.
