A ray of hope for farmers in Africa and Latin America and for our world.
"I have learned a lot and will pass it on to others."
Ladi Zachariah, farmer from Nigeria
Ladi Zachariah lives with her sons in northeastern Nigeria. She grows beans, peanuts and corn to feed her family. But the harvests are poor and Ladi says, "We don't have enough to eat." The soil is becoming more infertile, and climate change is causing more frequent droughts and floods. Although Ladi has been working in the fields since she was young, the knowledge she has been handed down does not help her enough. That is why the educational opportunities offered by our local partners are important to her.
"Thanks to training, we can keep our soil fertile."
Elva Apaza Quispe, farmer from Peru
Peruvian Elva Apaza Quispe's everyday life was gray and uncertain. Her family of eight lives in the high Andes, north of Lake Titicaca, at almost 4,000 meters above sea level. The soil is poor and Elva struggled to grow anything. She did not know how to achieve a sustainable yield. Our local partners supported Elva with training in sustainable agriculture. Elva learned how to produce organic fertilizer and plant more diverse crops. Today, Elva grows enough vegetables for her family to eat regularly.
What we have achieved with our local partner organizations
More than 5,000 people in the high Andes are already undergoing further training in agroecology thanks to our partner organizations.
In 2023, 32 greenhouses in Peru that were financed by the state and had been lying fallow were restored, maintained and renovated. This will benefit 32 families.
Every year, we train over 500 farmers in Nigeria in agroecology, reforestation, the use of natural resources and the construction of energy-efficient cooking stoves.
Mission 21 is involved in sustainable development cooperation and humanitarian aid in 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, promoting peace, education, health, food sovereignty and income generation. In this way, we are helping to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The situation in the Global South and the consequences of climate change
The widespread cultivation with synthetic fertilizers depletes the soil and reduces its fertility.
The Global warming is affecting harvests and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent.
Deforestation, erosion, pollution and contaminated groundwater reduce the soil quality in addition.
The Population lives below the poverty line and is on self-sufficiency.
