Zambia's farmers are Fighting Blind against climate change and low productivity
Climate shocks represent a critical threat to Zambian agriculture, reducing maize yields by up to 40% in drought years according to ZAMSTAT 2023 data. This volatility undermines food security and farmer livelihoods across the nation.
Over 800,000 smallholder farmers lack access to predictive tools that could help them adapt to changing weather patterns and optimize planting decisions.
Productivity remains critically low due to poor genetics and recurring disease outbreaks that devastate herds
Officers are severely overburdened — just 1 officer serves 1,500+ farmers, making personalized guidance impossible
Without timely, localized advice, farmers plant too early, lose crops, and raise underperforming animals
