BACKGROUND
NADPZ is a registered NGO that was established in 2010 after a successful partnership was created between Shumei International, a Japanese-based NGO, and the small-scale rural women farmers of Mbabala Constituency in Zambia.
NADPZ uses the cooperative structures and systems to improve the household status and income of rural women farmers by training farmers to use a cost effective regenerative agriculture practice known as Natural Agriculture, which does not use inputs or additives of any kind.
This environmentally friendly method increases crop production and yields and in turn allows women to participate in the development of their homes and communities, by improving health and nutrition and reducing poverty in rural areas
