news Sunflowers and dried mangoes are the key to surviving climate change in rural Zimbabwe Africanews 1 hour ago One afternoon in Mupindi Village, Gokwe South, more than 400 kilometres from Zimbabwe’s capital Harare, a smallholder farmer called Bernard Mupindi is pruning the rough, hairy triangular leaves that grow around the stem of a sunflower. The blooming yellow sunflowers in this 3.5-hectare piece of land are less than a month away from harvest. Mupindi still recalls growing sunflowers for his family to eat around a decade ago, but he had no idea how quickly that would change. © Farai Shawn Matiashe Small holder farmer, Savirios Chingura inspects his almost ready for harvest sorghum in his field in Gokwe South, Zimbabwe
