	Food Assistance Partnering with Trans Africa College, ERDO supports a Food Security program in Zambia which focuses on conservation agriculture training. This means that there is no chemical fertilizer and that water is carefully managed. This program involves a demonstration farm located at the Trans Africa College site which enables the college students as well as the local community to receive training.
