Community Technology Development Trust (CTDT) is dedicated to empowering farmers in Zimbabwe’s Runde and Save Basin catchment areas by providing access to essential machinery and equipment, promoting massive on-farm mechanisation to marginalised rural communities, through the generous support of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations under the GEF-7 Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program on Dryland sustainable Landscapes (SFM/DSL-IP). The organization is helping farmers to enhance their livelihoods, productivity, and promote sustainable forest and land management practices that foster ecosystem resilience. Farmers have been supported with small-scale mechanisation equipment which include, two wheel tractors, 1.5t trailers, seeders, planters, earth augers and multi-crop threshers. These machines are empowering farmers to increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and boost yields, ultimately enhancing livelihoods and contributing to sustainable agriculture practices.
