Can wildlife coexist with crops and livestock?
A series of 5 one-hour talks organised by ShareScreen Africa & AWEI
06 Sep - 04 Oct 2022
Recordings available for all 5 talks. Please click on the talks below.
This series will highlight farmers and NGOs who find ways in which food production and wildlife can co-exist and prosper. We also look at how conservation and regenerative farming practices can lead to additional income streams and diverse local economies for farmers and rural communities. In addition, we will see how farmers can manage their land to capture carbon and promote biodiversity, productive ecosystems and healthy livestock.
