AGRICULTURE INPUTS FOR HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
The project will test the poverty levels. It will endeavor to determine the milestones of efforts being applied in reducing hunger and poverty in the rural districts in Zambia. The desired outcome is to see to it that a good number of peasant farmers are sustainable not only to cultivate crops for consumption but also acquire inputs at the start of every season unlike relying on government aid which is usually distributed late or not at all. The business will grow in that, the cultivated crops will be sold to the food reserve agency there by generating profits. It will add knowledge on the effects of agricultural development.
The improvement of production and productivity Technology development is still a challenge in Zambia. Much as the vision 2030 is being followed in achieving a smart and value centered economy. Agricultural activities have far adverse effects on the environment in Zambia especially being a developing economy as it has cause-effect relationships between the economic, social, and environment. The non-maintenance of the farm blocks which existed after Independence is a challenge. The agriculture input supply management system is currently failing to sustain small scale farmers, this is because inputs are received late or not at all which leads to small scale farmers abandoning their fields and clear forests for new fields which massively leads to degradation of environment in the long run. This has been noted in the past years. The agricultural finance product development, expert financing and insurance promotion, have challenges of being achieved especially with a drastically reduced national budget. However, a larger population in Zambia relies on the staple crop which is maize, this is because the access to finance generally for purposes of diversifying is scarce.
- To reduce poverty in the rural parts of Zambia by 2030.
- To attain zero hunger levels in the remote parts of Zambia by 2030.
- To attain reduced levels of inequalities among the most vulnerable groups in the rural areas in Zambia by 2030.
- To evaluate the climate Action initiatives in Zambia of agricultural activities by 2030.
Opportunities will be unlocked in that the 80% people living in extreme poverty in Zambia will be empowered and this will greatly contribute to the Vision 2030. Future funding sources are yet to be identified especially that even the national budget has allocated a bigger percentage in Economic Diversification and job creation.
- Support small-scale producers with access to inputs, capital, and knowledge to improve yields while sustaining productivity of land and seas
The project will meet the low-income household needs by providing agricultural inputs. I expect to reach 300 beneficiaries. The direct beneficiaries are the rural farmers and the indirect beneficiaries are the people in the rural communities. The impact will be measured by carrying out a survey in the rural districts. My project will change behaviors in terms of dependency syndrome, the beneficiaries will be self-sustaining. The women and people with disabilities will be priority and needed equipment and tools will be provided to them.
- Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea
- A new business model or process
The operating costs will be covered by creating business partnerships with public and private organizations locally. Opportunities will be unlocked in that the 80% people living in extreme poverty in Zambia will be empowered and this will greatly contribute to the Vision 2030.
Firstly, phase one (1) would entail the evaluation of the Land to be used for farming. The size, the fertility and other related aspects. The evaluation of the timeframe would also be considered that is, the time taken for clearing of the land, the time taken to plant, weed and harvest. The project has potential to create revenue from the proceeds from the 50% share outputs and sustainability in 2025 is definitely guaranteed as farming is the most viable economic activity in Zambia. Further, the needs of low income consumers will be met since 80% of the Zambian population are in the rural areas and are the target group and fertile land is readily available. Hunger would be reduced as stipulated as a major objective of transform.
In implementing the 7NDP, the Zambian economy under the strategic development area relating to Economic Diversification and Job Creation, result area 1, entails a diversified and export-oriented agriculture sector of which six strategies and 24 programmes are to be implemented. The strategies include; Improve production and productivity, Improve Access to Finance for Production and Exports, Enhance Agriculture Value Chains, Promote Diversification within the Agriculture Sector and Enhance Investment in Agricultural Infrastructure.

The quality and quantity of the farming inputs will be evaluated from the onset of each season before the farmers could engage into the new planting season. The whole process would be evaluated in phases.

The prize would be used in the existing refugee camps in Zambia in that refugees are also engaged in farming to carter for their daily needs.
The solution particularly targets women and girls in the rural and especially that they are most vulnerable.
The land use analysis will be cardinal in that the technology is highly needed for sustainable agricultural expansion to be achieved.
