ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how projects can work in the more standard situations. It explains the 'food security outreach' project design. These projects work from a large town or city and reach out to the rural areas. They concentrate on food security issues for the vast bulk of villagers rather than on commercial agriculture for relatively richer village farmers. The three organizations examine all work on 'feeding the farmer first' using low input technologies. The first is TSURO in the Chimanimani district of Zimbabwe. This operates in twenty-two of the twenty-four wards of a district with 120,000 people. The second organization is Kulika in Uganda. This organization carries out work in a variety of rural communities throughout south-eastern Uganda. The third organization is Is'Baya, which operates in the Eastern Cape villages of South Africa. It works jointly on projects with the South African government Agricultural Research Centre.
