As has become the tradition at this time of year, this week I am sharing a list of top posts for the year. This time it’s not just ones published this year, but any post viewed by the 27.7k visitors to the blog. There are a lot of blogs on the site to choose from – nearly 600 since 2011 – so readers often find ones that were published a while back and some oldies get republished. The search facility on the site is quite good, so do have a search as the longer-term story of Zimbabwe’s land reform (and many associated debates) is interesting to review.
In terms of posts in the top 20 this year, there are a few old faves. The pig blog seems to get found on searches regularly as people seek to develop on-farm ‘projects’. This was not meant as a practical how-to guide to establishing piggeries, but I hope it’s useful. In the same way entrepreneurs interested in poultry, horticulture and so on seem to find their way to the blog.
This article is from Zimbabweland, a blog written by IDS Research Fellow Ian Scoones. Zimbabweland focuses on issues related to rural livelihoods and land reform in Zimbabwe.
