BY JAIROS SAUNYAMA The Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) has hailed government for adopting the Pfumvudza agricultural concept saying it would go a long way in ensuring food security at household level. Pfumvudza is a government agricultural programme that relies on conservation methods. Speaking during a virtual meeting in commemoration of the World Food Day held on Friday, assistant FAO programming officer David Mfote said his organisation was excited to collaborate with government in promoting the latest agricultural concept. “Through the livelihoods food security programme we are collaborating with the Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural Resettlement ministry to promote the Pfumvudza concept and we are quite excited because the ministry has taken it to an upper scale, which is a climate smart conservation and agricultural technique that aims to improve household food security through ensuring cereal adequacy for the whole year,” Mfote said. In a bid to alleviate hunger, government has unveiled the Pfumvudza agricultural concepts that are meant to ensure food provision at household level. The concept involves traditional farming methods that are meant to curb climate change effects at the same time improving yields mainly in the rural areas. The concept has been widely received by communal farmers with government complementing with agricultural inputs as well as expertise. The World Food Programme (WFP) estimates that about 7,7 million people in the country will be food insecure by year end. In her speech on the same day, WFP country director Francesca Erdelmann said there was need to consider technology and innovation in the agricultural sector to improve yields. “Given the intensity of food insecurity in Zimbabwe, anticipatory action is critical. New tools such as forecast-based financing and climate risk insurance have an important role in building robust and stable food systems in Zimbabwe.” Erdelmann added: “For example, under the Africa risk capacity initiative, a recent drought payout of US$290 000 will support selected communities during the forthcoming lean season. We can benefit from joining such regional and global efforts. “Further, the use of digital technology offers opportunities to communicate climate information and suitable farming advice to and between farmers, share market prices for better business decisions, and offer online learning tools for self-learning and enhancing skills and capacities.” The World Food Day is commemorated across over 150 countries with this year’s theme being Grow, Nourish, Sustain, Together. Our Actions are Our Future.

Algerians approved a revised version of the North African country's constitution with two thirds of votes cast, the electoral commission said Monday, after record low turnout in the previous day's referendum.
The vote had widely been seen as a regime manoeuvre to neutralise the Hirak protest movement, which at its peak had swept long-time president Abdelaziz Bouteflika from power.
The Hirak had called for a boycott of the referendum.
The revised text passed with 66.8 percent of the vote, National Independent Elections Authority (ANIE) chief Mohamed Charfi told a news conference, noting that the exercise took place in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic.
Charfi had earlier announced turnout of just 23.7 percent, a historic low for a major vote.
The regime \"wanted to break the momentum of the Hirak by reducing its demands to a minimal revision of the constitution\", Algeria expert Hasni Abidi told the press.
\"The people massively rejected this and placed the regime at a dead end.\"
The plebiscite took place in the absence of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who is hospitalised overseas after reported cases of the Covid-19 illness among his staff.
Tebboune had been elected in December in a poll with a turnout of just under 40 percent, the lowest in a presidential election since independence from France in 1962.
Said Salhi, deputy president of the Algerian Human Rights League, said Sunday's low turnout was \"a victory for the Hirak\".
\"The regime must take note of its failure and reconsider its roadmap,\" he tweeted. \"The process of democratic transition is the solution.\"
- 'No plan B' -
The Hirak, whose unprecedented mass rallies toppled Tebboune's predecessor Abdelaziz Bouteflika in April 2019, had pressed on with months of mass demonstrations to demand deep reforms to the ruling system. The coronavirus pandemic forced their suspension in March.
Tebboune has pitched the tweaked constitution as meeting the movement's demands, rhetoric echoed by Charfi on Monday.
\"The fact that the people were able to express themselves in total independence was another step in the construction of the new Algeria which began with the blessed Hirak,\" he said.
But despite the conciliatory words, the build-up to the vote saw a string of arrests and court rulings against pro-Hirak activists, social media users and journalists, with around 90 currently behind bars, according to the CNLD, a prisoners' support group.
State media heavily covered the \"yes\" campaign, while the \"no\" camp was banned from holding meetings.
The revised constitution itself was written by a committee of experts handpicked by the regime, and keeps key appointments in the hands of the president.
While it nominally enshrines a list of social and political rights, experts say it provides no guarantees.
The RCD, the main secular opposition party, warned that \"persisting on this path and promulgating a constitution rejected by 86.3 percent of voters amounts to opening the way to disorder which could carry all sorts of dangers.\"
