About NUSFAZ

National Union for Small Scale Farmers in Zambia (NUSFAZ) is a farmer-led initiative established in 2014 to empower small-scale farmers by addressing challenges like limited market access, financing, and information gaps. The Union advocates for farmers' representation in policy-making and promotes sustainable agricultural practices.
