As part of the African PELUM association, PELUM-Zimbabwe has been working to improve the livelihoods of small scale farmers by training communities in ecological farming practices. PELUM-Zimbabwe has helped to establish 11 nutrition gardens as part of a programme of work which it runs with the Ministry of Health & Child Welfare.  Providing a garden group with all they need to start a nutrition garden, the project has seen health improvements for the communities taking part.
