Amid rising unemployment and the high cost of living, the Mothers’ Union in the Diocese of Lesotho has launched a “Let No Food Go to Waste” campaign. The initiative addresses the significant loss of fresh food following the harvest season due to limited preservation methods.
Drawing on indigenous knowledge, the women have revived traditional practices of food sharing and preservation. These methods ensure that surplus harvests can be used during off-seasons. Additionally, by aligning with the national ploughing calendar, they optimize their home gardening efforts, planting the right crops at the right time for maximum yield.
