Ila Community Farm
An organic community farm of 6 hectares wass created in Mulendema chiefdom in 2022. It has a borehole running on solar and the first steps for planting have been prepared: composting is being readied, green manure (plants like sunhemp and pigeon peas) have been planted to regenerate the degraded soil. It is expected that planting of vegetables can start by the end of 2022.
The goal of this community farm is to provide the local market with healthy produce and sell to the tourism industry in Kafue National Park to support the local economy. In collaboration with Chief Mulendema, this farm will become a learning center for the local people of Mulendema chiefdom to see how they can do organic and sustainable farming.
