Resumen
Descripción
Three-quarters of rural households in Lesotho depend on agriculture for their livelihood. These households are increasingly vulnerable because of the deteriorating performance of the agriculture sector. Beekeeping and the production of honey and other hive products can help to sustain the livelihood of farmers that reside in areas with potential for apiculture. However, the sector needs to resolve a number of problems before it can realize its full potential. In response to these challenges, a project was designed with the aim of helping to improve and diversify the livelihoods of agriculturally dependent households through the promotion of commercial honey production in Lesotho.
