Seeds for small farmer

    JOHANNESBURG

    The Programme Against Malnutrition announced on Thursday that it had completed the distribution of about 500 mt of assorted seeds in 31 districts around the country in a programme started last year, its director Freda Luhila reportedly said.

    “Farmers dealing with food security crops will be able to generate income and supplement other basic household requirements,” Luhila said. She added that it was important for people to move from dependency on one crop by planting not less than three different crops.

    She said this was the only way small scale farmers were going to strengthen their food security.
