Paul Samba has served as Director at Chipembi Farm College (CFC) for over a decade where he continues to develop and direct educational and training programs. These programs provide students and local community members with the skills and knowledge to address issues of food security, sustainable agricultural production, effective communication, and environmental protection. Mr. Samba is constantly searching for new ways to better serve his students and reach out to small-scale farmers across Central Zambia. While CFC often faces challenges in the way of financial hardships and farmers’ initial distrust of sustainable agricultural practices, Mr. Samba focuses on creative solutions to develop CFC’s resources and partnerships with local organizations and communities.
