  • Maize growing on a demonstration plot at Kucwiny Integrated Food Security Project in Uganda, supported by World Renew. The ground is covered with straw mulch, and the maize is planted with little tillage or disturbance of the soil. The soil under the mulch remains moist, and the heavier the mulch, the fewer weeds grow.

  • Standing crops of maize and beans have been lost across the country because of the floods caused by hurricanes Eta and Iota. Some crops rotted, some dried out, many crops sprouted on the their stems before they could be harvested, most of the staple crops have been lost in the north, centre and west of Honduras. Nutrients have been washed out of the soil too and a huge wave of fungal diseases like canker and leaf rust are just beginning. As well as food for local consumption and survival, cash crops like coffee and bananas are badly affected as well.

  • In San Luis, Somoto, Nicaragua, the community meets for Farm School days with staff from the Lutheran Church in Nicaragua. The project is supported by ELCA and provides the community groups with a solar-powered pump that brings up water from 45m deep and a drip irrigation system for the cultivation of maize that they grow collectively in the village, as a response to the prolonged drought and many failed harvests the region is suffering.

  • Standing crops, particularly of maize and beans, have been lost across Honduras because of the floods caused by hurricanes Eta and iota. Some rotted, some dried out, some sprouted, and the losses will have a huge impact among thousands of subsistence farmers who rely on the crops to survive.

"the community was affected firstly by the flooding, most of it was under 1.5m of water, people lost everything, their kitchens, bedding, domestic animals like pigs and chickens. In agricultural prodution people lost rice, maize, bananas, the basic food for people. The flooding also affected the roads, it cut through 7m deep and 20m wide in one place. It will need a big investment to get us back to where we were. But because we can't get in to the fields because of the roads, we don't know how we'll replant"

  • Armyworm get their name because they can be seen 'marching' from place to place in large numbers, across roads and other areas devoid of vegetation. They feed on all types of grasses and can devastate entire crops of maize in a matter of days.
