Abstract
The Planting for Progress project is installing solar powered pumping equipment to irrigate crops. This is combined with skills training and improved seeds, which will improve food production and incomes for farmers in Zimbabwe. This enables them to move from reliance on food aid to self-sufficiency. Activities include Access to the best seeds for arid land and climate Irrigation with solar powered water pumping systems Training in the better land management Building business skills so farmers collectively plan what they grow and when and where to sell it for maximum income Empowering women to have a greater say in decisions that affect their lives
