Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Food insecurity continues to rise in Namibia, particularly in rural areas.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is according to Agnes Tjindjo-Tjimbundu, Erongo coordinator for the Namibia Rural Women Assembly.<\/p>\n

She was speaking during the International Rural Women\u2019s Day, held at Otjitoporo, Da\u0302ures constituency, last week.<\/p>\n

During the event, Erongo governor Neville Andre and the traditional councillors of the Zeraeua traditional authority handed over one hectare of land to local women.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world faces complex challenges regarding food security, especially in rural areas where agriculture remains the backbone of our livelihoods. It is these rural women \u2014 the backbone of agriculture \u2014 who toil day in and day out to provide food for our families, communities, and the nation at large. But with the pressures of climate change, erratic rainfall, and degrading soil quality, our traditional farming methods are under threat. It is here that conservation agriculture offers hope,\u201d said Andre.<\/p>\n

He advocated conservation agriculture methods such as minimal tillage, crop rotation, and maintaining soil cover, urging investment in these techniques to safeguard food security for future generations.<\/p>\n

He also addressed the pressing issue of gender-based violence in rural areas.<\/p>\n
