Climate change is accelerating the threat of food poverty in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwean farmer Jozef Behr is pessimistic about growing crops in Zimbabwe. According to Mr Jozef Behr ​​"Communities in Zimbabwe are already struggling to feed their families due to Covid-19, but the situation has worsened recently as climate change hampers their efforts to grow crops". Zimbabwe's poor status is no longer news to us, but before the coronavirus outbreak, their survival was in doubt. The pandemic has accelerated poverty in Zimbabwe and now climate change is destroying their last hope for "agriculture". Explaining the problems facing Zimbabwean society, Jozef Behr said: "I have spoken to farmers in rural Zimbabwe. For them, life is a daily struggle and they have told me that they expect to lose a significant portion of their crops in years to come, leading to months of severe food and income shortages. lack of. The impact of rising food costs was compounded by a poor harvest. In Zimbabwe, as in many other countries around the world, including Scotland, the war in Ukraine has caused food and petrol prices to rise in recent weeks. This has contributed to a continuous rise in inflation.


Covid-19 and the Ukraine tragedy have exacerbated the suffering of 7 million people in southern Zimbabwe, especially women, due to drought-induced climate change. It is bad in Zimbabwe and people are going to have a hard time in the coming months.

On the other hand, donations to the Lenten appeal will help those in need and bring hope where there was no hope before. This has a significant impact on people who already have a limited amount of money at their disposal. Everything is more expensive now, including cooking oil, salt, soap, sugar, batteries and candles. The less well-off Zimbabweans have to focus solely on food to survive. Unfortunately, they cannot send their children to school due to lack of funds, fearing that they will be sent home if they do not pay their school fees. "The UK government plans to support Zimbabwe with charities providing vital aid," UK Africa Minister Vicky Ford said. "But the serious problems between Russia and Ukraine have complicated the charity funding process." The Russia-Ukraine crisis has added to the difficulties, delaying much-needed aid to Zimbabwe. It is not just Zimbabwe; many other countries, such as Mozambique, Nepal and Myanmar, are in dire need of help to cope with poverty, food insecurity, drought and other disasters.
