HIV/AIDS, human resources & food production
Narrated lesson · press play
HIV and AIDS touch homes across Namibia, and they reach our farms too. In this gentle lesson we'll see how the pandemic affects newborns, teenagers and the elderly, how it lowers the turnout and productivity of farm workers, and how — step by step — it can reduce the food a farm produces. We'll finish with how families and communities cope, and how we prevent it, always with respect and compassion.
