Christmas Bowl Kit Resources
This year’s Christmas Bowl focuses on conservation farming in Zimbabwe. Once known as the bread basket of Africa, today Zimbabwe is one of the poorest countries in the world, and many of its people survive on grain handouts. Since Act for Peace’s program partners introduced conservation farming, a low cost and low technology farming strategy, farmers' yields have increased by up to 200 per cent and these communities have taken enormous strides towards achieving food security. For more information on Zimbabwe and conservation farming, please
