Hybrids (crops and livestock) have dominated the farming communities in Zimbabwe. Evidence suggests high productivity associated with these hybrids although the same cannot be said for their nutritional value. To the contrary, evidence reveal high nutritional value among indigenous neglected foods. Several studies also claim that indigenous food crops and animals are resilient to climate change, tolerate poor to moderate agro-ecological conditions and require low production inputs compared to hybrids. The Indigenous Foods Seed & Information Banks Program (IFSIBP) promotes village level Indigenous Foods Seed and Information Banks for storing indigenous foods propagation material (seeds) and digital geo-referenced indigenous foods information, given that a majority of formal input markets only trade propagation material for hybrid crops.
