This spring, ARI is reflecting on climate change through the stories of our community. For our third feature, we highlight John Nyondo (Class of 1983) and Judith Daka (Class of 2001), a dedicated couple working in Zambia.
Facing a severe food crisis caused by intense droughts, John and Judith are applying the organic farming techniques they learned at ARI to sustain their community. Their inspiring journey was recently featured in Asahi Shimbun Digital “with Planet” (April 7th).
Article Title:“Changing the Soil to Save Lives: Japanese Organic Farming in Food-Crisis-Stricken Zambia (Part 1)”
We extend our deepest gratitude to journalist Mr. Ken Fujitani for traveling to Zambia to capture and share their powerful story.
