The Parliamentary Alliance on Food Security and Nutrition (PAFSN) has called for adoption of agroecological techniques as a cost-effective alternative in ensuring good yields. This came to light during an organized visit to the Big Concession farming block in Mumbwa. 
The visit that took place on 29th March, 2025, organized by FIAN International Zambia in conjunction with Zambia Alliance for Agroecology and Biodiversity (ZAAB), consisting of selected Members of PAFSN. The MPs toured Mr. Gilbert Naife, who demonstrated the viability and cost-effectiveness of agroecological practices. 
During the visit, FIAN International Zambia's Country Coordinator, Mr. Vladimir Chilinya, noted that due to insufficient fertilizer supplies, many local farmers refrained from farming activities. He emphasized that adopting agroecological techniques can be a cost-effective alternative in ensuring good yields.
Meanwhile, Hon. Michelo Kasauta, MP and Chairperson of PAFSN, underscored the importance of the program. He expressed gratitude to FIAN International Zambia for having organized the visit and hence, encouraged broader dissemination of information, including engagement with traditional leaders. Hon Kasauta also urged the media to focus more on agricultural issues rather than politics.
The visit which was aimed at providing firsthand information on agroecological maize farming included the following Members: Hon. Michelo Kasauta, MP, Hon. Edgar Sing’ombe, MP, Hon. Mweemba Malambo, MP, Hon. Yotam Mtayachalo, MP and Hon. Koonwa Simunji, MP.
