Series 1 - The Future of Farming in Zimbabwe
This 6-part series builds on my Nuffield Scholarship and explores the future of farming in Zimbabwe - from the history that shaped today’s realities to the opportunities and challenges that will define what comes next.
Episode 1: A Story of Two Farms
A personal starting point for the series, tracing my family’s story alongside the deeper land history that shaped Zimbabwean agriculture.
Episode 2: The Early 2000s Land Redistribution, and the Current State of Zimbabwean Agriculture
A look at Fast Track Land Reform, the damage and disruption that followed, and the state of the sector today.
Episode 3: Three Farmers, One Future
An on-the-ground view of Zimbabwean agriculture through three very different farmers, each facing a different version of the same bigger challenge.
Episode 4: Global Lessons, Zimbabwean Solutions
Drawing on my Nuffield Scholarship travels, this episode looks at what Zimbabwe can learn from other countries without blindly copying them.
Episode 5: The Two Pillars of Productivity
An exploration of the two big shifts needed to move Zimbabwean agriculture forward: a stronger commercial sector and a better path out of subsistence farming.
Episode 6: From Rhetoric to Reality
The final episode focuses on what actually needs to happen next — and who needs to do what — if Zimbabwe is serious about building a more productive, inclusive, and resilient agricultural future.
