AGRICULTURAL EXPERT CALLS ON ZAMBIA TO PRACTICE AGRO FORESTRY

Agricultural Expert, Oliver Bulaya, has encouraged citizens to engage in Agro Forestry to ensure a sustainable environment for agriculture.

Dr. Bulaya says Agro Forestry farming is one of the beneficial initiatives in the agricultural sector that could bring about economic development in the country.

Speaking in an interview with RCV News in Lusaka, Dr. Bulaya added that the PIDACC project will produce an environment for strong farming in the Zambezi basin as well as country wide.

“Zambians should avoid tree cutting to eradicate deforestation in these areas which has caused a lot of climate instability to the watershed,” said Dr. Bulaya.

Dr. Bulaya further added that government partnering with the private sector will play a major role in generating mechanisms emphasis on smart climate tools to enhance production.
