Komeho Namibia Development Agency with Skillshare International and the UK Big Lottery Fund worked together to develop sustainable livelihoods in some of the poorest communities in the poorest regions of Namibia. This video shows how a community based approach that offered choice and variety assisted families in Bravo to consider and then adopt a smallholder approach that contained a much wider range of crops and fruits than is typically seen in the family plots of rural communities. Additionally, Komeho set out to strengthen local knowledge of wild plants such as Devils Claw and Hoodia Gordonii, so that the plants can be harvested in a more sustainable way and communities win access to better markets.
