This book was formulated to capture the role of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in addressing the effects of drought and famine in Zimbabwe. The increasing rate of recurrence of drought induced famine became a driving factor in focusing on those issues that constitute the core of this book, including factors that make these communities vulnerable to drought and famine, This book also captures the challenges that impede communities in employing IKS coping strategies. It also explores the effects that have led to loss of livelihoods and livestock, increased food insecurities and triggering increased migration and deforestation.
