Zimbabwe plans to cut livestock pollution through new farming methods that help the environment and economy. The country wants to reduce animal emissions seven percent before 2035. Government officials believe better feeding and animal health care will reach these targets. Deputy director Andrew Chamisa spoke at a workshop Thursday about the climate goals. The meeting took place at Mazowe where experts discussed sustainable farming practices.
Zimbabwe created a national climate plan last February as part of global efforts to fight climate change. The document outlines how the country will meet Paris Agreement requirements due next year. Officials plan to improve feeding for five percent of all livestock and boost health care for ten percent of animals. These changes should help farmers produce more food with less environmental damage. Local and international experts are working together to study the best approaches.
Livestock farming provides important nutrition but also creates greenhouse gases. Many farmers struggle with low productivity and food shortages made worse during climate changes. Animal products offer dense sources of protein, energy and minerals that people need for healthy diets. The government wants to help farmers become more productive without harming the environment. Better farming techniques can turn waste into useful food sources.
New Zealand has agreed to help Zimbabwe develop cleaner livestock technologies. This partnership will support research into tools that reduce methane and other harmful gases. The collaboration aims to create innovations that benefit both countries' farming communities. Scientists hope these new methods will help Zimbabwe meet its development goals. The project connects environmental protection with economic growth for rural areas.
