The Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform Minister Inge Zaamwani has launched a N$46-million food security and climate resilience grant in Otjiwarongo.

The Government of Japan, in partnership with Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Namibia and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Land Reform (MAFWLR), donated N$48 million towards the agriculture sector. 

The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform (MAWLR), Inge Zaamwani, has emphasised the importance of producing sufficient food to feed the nation in meeting the country's Sustainable Development Goals. 

In the face of increasing climate threats and a lack of food, Namibia has taken a decisive step to protect its most vulnerable communities.

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation and the government partnered to take urgent action to build resilience in the hardest-hit regions.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation joined the Office of the Governor in the Omaheke Region to address the pressing issue of food insecurity and malnutrition induced by severe drought.

A delegation comprising Japanese Ambassador Hisao Nishimaki, UN Resident Coordinator Hopolang Phororo, and UNICEF Country Representative Sam Ocran visited the Rundu Intermediary Hospital in the Kavango East Region recently.
 

There is a need to manage and improve the availability, quality, and accessibility of data and statistics pertaining to agriculture and rural populations.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform has embarked on the revision of four pieces of legislation, that deal with the management of animal feed, plant quarantine, fertilizers, and pesticides.

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) want rural communities to adopt new farming techniques to improve food security.
