Zimbabwe Farming Guides and Handbooks (PDF Downloads)

We thought we would get some farming guides together for those of you in the Pindula Community that are into farming.z

We have included handbooks and guides on livestock, crops, and also managing farming itself as a business.

Unfortunately, we don’t have many handbooks in vernacular languages. We do want to add these to the list. If you know any farming guides and handbooks in Ndebele and Shona (that are licensed for free distribution) please let us know and we’ll add them so other people on Pindula can access them.
