Learning, Innovation, and Inspiration: ZFAWIB field visit success at Twiishane Agro Solutions
What an enriching day for innovation in agriculture! On October 23, 2025, the ZFAWIB (COMFWB Zambia Agriculture Sector) hosted an incredibly successful field visit to Twiishane Agro Solutions, a brilliant urban farm spearheaded by our own visionary member, Madam Grace. This event perfectly encapsulated ZFAWIB’s commitment to empowering women through practical knowledge sharing and capacity building.
Our dedicated members were given a deep dive into practical learning, focusing on strategies to maximize urban land use, mastering crucial value addition techniques (including specialized plant oil extraction!), and adopting modern agricultural practices that significantly supercharge productivity. Twiishane Agro Solutions stands as a shining example of sustainable urban farming, cultivating a diverse and vibrant range of flowers, vegetables, legumes, and fruits, proving that profitability and sustainability can thrive together. This visit powerfully reinforces ZFAWIB’s mission: we are actively transforming agriculture into a thriving, sustainable, and profitable sector for all women entrepreneurs.
The Power of Field Visits and Agri-Entrepreneurship
Field visits are invaluable, especially for women entrepreneurs in agriculture. They offer a unique, hands-on learning experience that cannot be replicated in a classroom. For ZFAWIB members, seeing a successful operation like Twiishane Agro Solutions in action provides inspiration, validation, and a clear roadmap for their own ventures. They facilitate peer-to-peer networking, allowing women to build essential support systems and troubleshoot common business challenges. Furthermore, fostering agriculture entrepreneurship is more critical now than ever. In the face of climate change and food security challenges, innovative agri-businesses drive economic stability, create local employment, and ensure a resilient food supply. By equipping women with the tools to lead in this sector, ZFAWIB is helping secure a sustainable future for both their families and their communities.
