Farmers trained on agroecology for biodiversity

Ngwempisi – The Eswatini National Trust Commission (ENTC), in partnership with PELUM Eswatini, held a workshop yesterday in the Ngwempisi Rural Development Area to train local farmers on sustainable farming practices that protect biodiversity.

The initiative aims to reduce biodiversity loss in agricultural ecosystems, strengthen climate resilience, and empower farmers, particularly women and youth, through practical, hands-on training.

ENTC officials said the program promotes agroecology as a nature-based solution, aligning with global targets under the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) to improve food systems while safeguarding the environment.

Farmers who attended the workshop actively participated in learning techniques designed to balance productive farming with ecological conservation.
