Anna Majavu draws attention to the research of Brian Mandipaza – a researcher and farmer from Zimbabwe. In this article, the importance of indigenous knowledge in small-scale farming is brought into focus in the context of climate change. Brian Mandipaza's research tells the story of how small-scale farmers have returned to the use of more traditional farming methods following years of practising conservation agriculture.
