As a founder and national coordinator for RimaAfrika Trust Zimbabwe, Darlington Mafa has experience in practical Zimbabwean rural nutrition, food security and climate-smart regenerative agriculture. For his CSP practicum, Darlington collaborated with Rural Action in The Plains, Ohio where he worked on a sustainable agriculture program encouraging local food distribution, purchasing, and the connecting of patients to fresh and local produce. For his follow-on project in Zimbabwe, Darlington plans to reclaim abandoned artisanal mining land for sustainable smallholder agricultural usage, develop sustainable income generating horticulture initiatives and familiarize marginalized rural communities with climate change resilience through initiatives such as agroforestry.
