irrigation and water harvesting systems to address the current water poverty. We further request the Government to develop and adopt appropriate and climate smart and ecological agriculture techniques. 6. Final Words 6.1. We must not despair. If we all work for the common good, if we are in solidarity with one another and if everyone does their part to protect the environment and improve food security, there is hope. Let us pray that the Lord may touch our hearts so that we are ready to protect our environment, give and share what we have and implement the good policies we have. May the blessings of God be upon us during these difficult times. PEACE BE WITH YOU +Michael D. Bhasera, Bishop of Masvingo(ZCBC President) +Robert C.
