Vegetable Gardens in the City, Zimbabwe
For poor people in the
city of Harare, in Zimbabwe - as for those in Kumasi,
whom we heard about in programme 5, growing crops is important.
Programme five features a project which looks at how people
grow vegetables in and around the city, both for sale
and for their families to eat. Growing vegetables allows
families to manage better in the unpredictable environment
of the city. |

Around the world farming
households involve themselves in a variety of activities

is helping boost incomes in farming households in Poland,
a country where people are adapting to a rapidly changing
situation. |

mean the same thing to everybody.

they ultimately supply in the UK understand ethical trade
differently. Pineapple growing in Ghana is used as a case
study. |
