PELUM Zimbabwe ​​​

PELUM Zimbabwe (Participatory ecological land use management) is a Zimbabwean NGO that works with local farmers organisations to spread regenerative practices which improve nutrition security, livelihoods and environmental sustainability throughout Zimbabwe. 

The Howden Foundation is supporting PELUM Zimbabwe to deliver a learning programme focused on livestock and land regeneration in order to build the resilience of local farmers to drought. Across nine partner organisations and working in at least five districts of Zimbabwe, this programme encourages a move away from intensive livestock grazing towards rotational grazing. This leads to improved soil, grassland, cattle and human health - as well as soil water retention – which collectively builds resilience to drought. The programme also engages politicians at a local, regional and national level to promote understanding of and support for regenerative practices like these across the country.
