Sometimes the best innovation needs no machines.
Zero electricity, zero diesel. This manual peanut butter machine proves that simple mechanics can outperform industrial processor.
Check the video 👀 and RT if you appreciate clever engineering.

Transforming agriculture through infrastructure development, mechanization, and post-harvest loss reduction is key to food security. Strengthening the value chain and promoting rural industrialization will drive economic growth and sustainability.

Mechanization is key for crop production.

In sub-Saharan Africa, limited farm power leads to poverty and smaller harvests.

👉 Boosting power supply in agriculture allows for timely tasks, larger farming areas, and higher crop yields.

@isaiah_nyagumbo is sharing the aggregate test comparing @ConservationAg systems with tillage practices at our farmer #sharefair. This shows the strength in aggregate stability when a soil is not tilled. @BMhlanga4 @CIMMYT @IWMI_ @Inga_JM @ACTillage @Sieg_SAS #UUInitiative

🎉 Exciting news! Two Service Providers in Manicaland, 🇿🇼 - Wilson Dube & Blessmore Mumvuri, have signed loan agreements with BancABC. Through the @UsaidZimbabwe #MechanizationActivity, Dube and Mumvuri are a step closer to acquiring chopper grinders for their businesses.

With the accelerated climate change challenge, there is urgent need to develop climate-proofing and resilient strategies for agricultural production and productivity.

[Mangezi Brian @MangeziBrian]

Climate change is real🍁 it requires smart adaptation strategies and participation in climate resilient practices. Together, we can build a sustainable and thriving agricultural sector. Let's farm smarter, not harder! @CIMMYT @FeedtheFuture Zim Mechanization & Extension Activity

[Mangezi Brian @MangeziBrian]

@FeedtheFuture Zimbabwe Mechanization and Extension Activity we've paid major attention to the involvement of women in the mechanisation value chain, not just as beneficiaries, but also as controllers or owners of machinery. #womeninagriculture @CIMMYT @BusyBeeChris @MatinCIMMYT

[Sydney Graham Gwitira @SydieGee]

As we hopefully wait for more rains in Mwenezi, I'm appreciating the Power of Mechanization & Conservation Agriculture under the @FeedtheFuture Mechanization and Extension Activity. #DemoPlots @CIMMYT
@BusyBeeChris @MatinCIMMYT @MangeziBrian @mishecknkoma

[Abdul Matin @MatinCIMMYT]

@CIMMYT, with the support of @WFP-Zimbabwe, is establishing 10 more #Mechanization Service Providers in #Mwenezi. Our Engineers & interns have started a 3-day long Pre-shipment Inspection (66 machines) in Harare to ensure that they are delivered fault free & ready for businesses.

@panasheila @mishecknkoma @SydieGee @Zithokaa @CIMMYT @MatinCIMMYT @KudzieChimzy Thanks @panasheila lets mechanize the smallholder farmer. #FoodSecurity

[Mangezi Brian @MangeziBrian]

#APPRECIATION
Dear @mishecknkoma, @SydieGee and Abel @Zithokaa
You never ask for appreciation or attention but you certainly deserve it. You make working hard look easy, I appreciate all you do.

Conservation agriculture adoption offers multidimensional benefits to the farmers with significant yields and sustainability of their systems.

Farm mechanization is a crucial input for improving agricultural production. Sustainable agricultural mechanisation tries to make the work of farmers easier while minimising the risk of environmental damage.
