Zimbabwean program reduces grassland fires

By TONDERAYI MUKEREDZI in Harare | China Daily Global | Updated: 2021-05-25 09:19 Share CLOSE A conservation system known as Pfumvudza, which Zimbabwe officially adopted at the beginning of the 2020/21 agriculture season to increase farmers resilience, has seen a reduction in fires. In the past, farmers burned crop residue, but in conservation agriculture, they use it for mulching or to fertilize crops. We are happy with Pfumvudza. It s good for agriculture, but it s more of an environmental approach. Now, because of the need to mulch, people are no longer burning crop residue, and that has led to fewer fires, said Steady Kangata, director of environmental management services with Zimbabwe s Environmental Management Authority.
