Indigenous vegetables are key to sustainable farming. By integrating cowpea and amaranth, farmers can enhance soil health, preserve biodiversity, and improve nutrition.
In this episode, Dr. Buhlebelive Mndzebele from the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) discusses his study on intercropping cowpea and amaranth and how it tackles significant issues such as population growth, limited land, and climate challenges.
The methods of his study focus on indigenous vegetables as well as intercropping as sustainable practices.
