degradation of our environment mainly through wanton cutting down of trees, veld fires, pollution, siltation of rivers and disregard for wetlands. New and old mines continue to pollute our air, water and soil as they fail to fulfill legislation on the disposal of residues, fumes, chemicals, etc., posing a health hazard for many. We are literally turning our beautiful country into a desert. Contrary to our ancient traditions of maintaining a healthy ecological balance, we have come to see ourselves as the lords and masters of the earth, entitled to plunder her at will (Laudato Si no. 2). We inherited a wholesome country from our forefathers, we have a similar obligation to future generations. 3.3.

This has affected agriculture production where more than half of the country's population derive their livelihoods. Many fail to till their land, secure inputs and plant on time.

Well Written Policies 4.1. Zimbabwe has some of the best agriculture, and even economic policies on the continent that seek to address poverty, hunger and climate change. 4.2. The Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZimASSET) provides that Food Security and Nutrition revolve around the country's food producing and processing capabilities. It is the ultimate goal of the ZimASSET in this regard to restore Zimbabwe's bread basket status producing food enough to sustain not only the country but the whole region of Southern Africa. The ZimASSET anticipated some of the goals of the newly adopted global Sustainable Development Goals. 4.3. The Zero Hunger Challenge Strategy brings together different
