TODAY from 6pm (GMT) - GRAIN REVOLUTION: Finger millet & livelihood transformation in rural Zimbabwe. Register here: bit.ly/ZDJ0Dt Join us at 55 Tufton Street, London Street, or on twitter, using #GrainRev. We will be live-tweeting the event from the @AfricaResearch handle. Dr Chidara Muchineripi, founder of the Chinyika Communities Development Project, will talk about the finger millet-growing initiative which has brought 40,000 households out of food insecurity. Building up reserves of finger millet, a hardy, nutritious small grain which can be safely stored for decades, has enabled the communities to pursue income-generating activities like poultry keeping and fish farming. Nearly a decade after the projects launch, Chidara will reflect on its conception, evolution and future.
