20 years ago, Tigray was one of the most water-stressed, food-insecure and impoverished regions in Ethiopia. Around that time, the regional and federal governments decided that the way out of the situation was to pursue watershed-based ecological restoration.

The strategy seems to be working: soil quality has improved, water availability has increased, vegetative cover has grown several-fold, production of food is higher and productivity of farmland has been enhanced. The obvious knock-on effect has been a substantial decrease in poverty and improved nutrition.

The Tigray story could have lessons for all of us. This video is a preliminary look at what is widely called Tigray's "Watershed Movement." We would do well to look at the phenomenon more closely, for lessons relevant to our contexts.

I hope this inspires you to get in contact with local permaculturists and start making a difference in this world. My gift to you!

This documentary presents us with opulent images of fabulous landscapes and fascinating people that make a living in the Nile valley, between optimism and tradition, with fantasy and creativity.

No other river is as cloaked in mystery as the Nile and no other river rules the surrounding countryside through which it flows quite as much as the Nile.

We experience the dawn of a great civilisation, whose buildings still cause us to stare in sheer astonishment to this very day.

ORFC Global 2021 Session

Three African women, Jennifer Amejja, Edna Kaptoyo and Rita Uwaka, speak about the importance of women’s cultural, traditional knowledge and practice for food sovereignty, agroecology and community forest management. How they grow nutritious food, use and protect medicinal plants, select and exchange seed, establish vital community seed banks, provide livelihoods and support the local economy. Also how they protect forests, many of which are sacred, and ensure replenishment and restoration of watersheds. 

Indigenous women are especially threatened by climate change and biodiversity destruction, yet their intimate knowledge makes them uniquely placed to protect and restore critical ecosystems; strengthen traditional food systems; conserve species; and transmit indigenous knowledge to future generations.

However, industrial plantation agriculture, often supported by governments and finance institutions in developed countries, is fuelling landgrabs, destroying local food systems, and accelerating climate change, biodiversity loss and human rights abuses, especially for women.  How should we collectively address this critical issue?

ORFC Global 2021 Workshop

The community of Shashe in the central Masvingo province of Zimbabwe is home to 500 farming families. The agricultural calendar here is marked by four seasonal ceremonies and as well as many other rituals that celebrate the relationship of soil and water, that is key to their food sovereignty.

Shashe leader, Nelson Mudzingwa, says, “The soil is very important because every living organism is dependent on it. We were made of soil, live in the soil and walk on the soil. We build on the soil and we farm in the soil, and when we die we shall be returned to the soil. We are soil.” Water is also essential as “it is the blood of the soil and must flow within it, not above it. A living soil should be moist with life in it, allowing germination of plants and their growth. In our bodies water is also important as well as in all other living things that respire or transpire”.

Join Nelson Mudzwinga, La Via Campesina General Coordinator, Elizabeth Mpofu and Vongai Dube to talk about the spiritual beliefs that guide their farming practices.

Think Ghana Series: Agriculture sector 2015

The webinar will discuss the opportunities, constraints, prospects and limitations of agroecology in Africa. It will explore exactly what agroecology is, the ongoing efforts to popularize it in Africa, the likely positive and negative impacts of its widespread adoption, and its intersection with modern agricultural methods, among other topics.

Panelists include: Irene Egyir, an associate professor in the University of Ghana’s Agricultural Economics Department; Nassib Mugwanya, a Ugandan agricultural communications specialist and PhD candidate at North Carolina State University; Bernard Guri, executive director of the Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Organizational Development, in Ghana; Pacifique Nshimiyimana, an agribusiness entrepreneur in Rwanda, and Charles Nyaaba, head of programs and advocacy for the Peasant Farmers Association. Moderator: Joseph Opoku Gakpo, a journalist from Ghana currently enrolled in a master’s program at North Carolina State University.
