 Thanks to the funding from the European Union, FAO promotes environmental sustainability in agriculture with the ACP-Mies3 programme. The programme supports the government of Zimbabwe and smallholder farmers in four main areas. Policy development, research, highly hazardous pesticides and ecosystem-based practices through farmer field schools. The ACP-Mies3 project aims to support mainstreaming of biodiversity into agriculture in Zimbabwe and the sound use of pesticides. The government of Zimbabwe, through the Ministry of Agriculture, recognises the importance of agribusiness in terms of improving production and productivity. The government aims to further change climate change, and to further further further fertilisers. And we are also very excited to be able to increase the number of children in the family and to provide them with the resources they need. We are very grateful. thanks for talking with me it's been a while my next change of life I spend a lot of time veteran and it's been a long time long time I spend near a house next to a pizza and it's gone since it's only white so my stesso nronics powder it thank god you can problem When we employ diverse methods that don't deal with synthetics, we are not affecting our health, but we are actually promoting the growth and retention of biodiversity in terms of the environment.

When we employ diverse methods that don't deal with synthetics, we are not affecting the growth and retention of biodiversity in terms of the environment. Quite a number of farmers have actually done away with pesticides, which are hazardous and they are very costly, you know. So this has been one major, I would say, product which we are really proud of. You know the agricultural environment is so dynamic, it's an open factory, there's no roof. One of the biggest strategies that can be used to change a system is to actually look at the people that are implementing the extension, the education system in a country. Now this is important because we generate information that will help policymakers to mainstream biodiversity into these policies. The project is actually looking at the possibility of Zimbabwe coming with their own organic agriculture standards, which are managed and enforced by the government of Zimbabwe, so that the organic produce is actually meant for the local people of Zimbabwe. This form of education, remember, it's got no cost except a piece of land in our time. Yes, and a little bit of resources, thanks to the European Union via FAO, Food and Agriculture Organization, we're getting quite some support there, as well as our own efforts. The two complemented, we are smiling. The ACP Mears 3 program has helped to create a more sustainable and resilient environment that promotes sound pesticides practices, while safeguarding the biodiversity of the region. One of its major achievements has been the contribution to develop the National Agro-Biodiversity Policy Framework, which aims to mainstream biodiversity across the agricultural sector. About 180 farmers from nine FFS groups have participated in training sessions on the use of ecosystem-based practices, helping local farming families to have access to better living conditions and opportunities.
