Chololo climate changeeffects
Drought rain season starts later, finishesearlier, less predictable
Deforestation - loss of vegetation, increasedwomens workload
Flooding and strong winds leading to soilerosion, declining soil fertility
Human diseases: skin diseases, cholera anddiarrhoea
Livestock diseases/crop pests: e.g. Rift Valley
Fever, army worm, calidea bugs, stink bugs

in CC adaptation builds soil structure and soil fertility
brings degraded soils back to productivity
reduces erosion caused by wind and water
reduces financial risk through less externalinputs
increases biodiversity and resilience to pests /storms / disease.

agriculture innovations
are we testing? Good Agricultural Practices: improved
varieties, spacing, thinning, weeding,community seed production, post harvesthandling and storage
Soil erosion control: Fanya Juu, contourfarming, grass strips, trash lines
Soil fertility management: crop rotation,intercropping legumes, FYM, composting
Soil moisture management: Magoye ripper,Ox ridger, cover crops, contour farming

Food Security in Chololo
Last week (end of Nov 2012)
Village Chair says only 1% have no food
Only 1 person out of 80 had no food at home
Before half of households would be hungryby this time, and would be running to Cheusi,
the rich commercial farm in Kongwa, lookingfor work as casual labourers.
