IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Review of Garden Based Production
Activities For Food Security
Gardening activities have a long history of
implementation in the country. Recently, they have
received more recognition of their importance and
support from donors and other institutions, particularly
as the effects of HIV/AIDS and consequent malnutrition
have become more apparent. This review of garden based
activities in Zimbabwe was commissioned by the FAO/NGO/MOA
Gardens Working Group (GWG). It involved desk studies,
interviews and Case Studies. An inventory of the
institutions supporting garden activities, a
bibliography of garden related resource materials (Annex
3) and four Case Studies are presented. The review is
intended to form the basis for exchange of experiences
and learning, improve the understanding of appropriate
gardening interventions, and assist in planning for
broader and more detailed studies.
