Climate-Smart Agriculture
Alexandra Ngaiza
We’ve walked the same dusty paths, sat on the same low stools under mango trees, and listened to countless women farmers echo the same refrain Dr. Forsythe heard across Africa: "Tunajitahidi, lakini udongo wetu hauna rutuba. Hakuna msaada wa kutosha." ("We try, but our soil is depleted. There’s not enough support.") That’s why we launched “Her Farm, Her Story”—a bold initiative by MazaoHub to reclaim the narrative around women, soil, and agronomy. Our mission is not only to analyze the soil beneath their feet but also to restore the value and voice of the women who work it every day.
Soil is Political – And So is Our Response Just like the Juno-backed research urges us to do, MazaoHub sees beyond the “technical” nature of poor soils. We ask: Why do women farmers often inherit or access the worst land? Why are their yields consistently lower despite hard labor? Why does the agricultural system see them as beneficiaries, but rarely as decision-makers? These are not just ecological questions. They are questions of equity, access, and power—and they require a radical, locally driven response. Through our Farmer Excellent Centers (FECs) and our AI-powered Farm ERP, we help women farmers understand what their soil lacks—why, and how they can regenerate it using scientific guidance.
Her Farm, Her Story: Reclaiming Space in the Soil Conversation Inspired by feminist research frameworks like those led by Dr. Tarjem, MazaoHub is deliberate about redefining what leadership means in agriculture which is power over decision-making at the plot level, household level, and eventually, community level.
MazaoHub’s model embraces what the Juno Alliance describes as intersectional and context-sensitive programming. We don’t bring in Western blueprints and impose them on African soil. We co-create solutions with local women-led cooperatives, youth groups, and indigenous knowledge holders. Our teams include rural agronomists, most of whom are women themselves, trained to deliver "tech-and-touch" services in local languages and local realities.
We invite governments, donors, research institutions, and private sector actors to move from rhetoric to real action. Let’s fund feminist agronomy, let’s elevate rural women’s knowledge, and let’s recognize that the health of our soil is bound to the freedom of the women who tend it. Because when her soil heals—so does her future. #HerFarmHerStory #FeministAgronomy #TechAndTouch #SoilJustice #MazaoHub #AfricanWomenLead #EvidenceWithEmpathy
