CABO VERDE 2024. Nena owns the farm participating in the FAO China South-South Cooperation (SSC) Programme

29 April 2024, Achada Fazenda, Santa Cruz, Cabo Verde - Delfina Cardoso, 71, alias Nena, owner of the "Ze Nena" farm, poses for a portrait on her farm in Achada Fazenda.

At the age of 71, Nena has left the reins to Willy. He manages the farm, takes care of the land and finance, but her presence is still very much felt. She is everywhere on the farm, taking care of odds and ends, making food for the workers, overseeing all the activities with the confidence and authority of a woman who has dedicated her life to agriculture.

Willy has received training on soil management and pest control offered by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as part of a project under the FAO-China South-South Cooperation (SSC) Programme.

This photograph forms part of the series: Drought within an ocean -
Cabo Verde, a Small Island Developing State, hits back against climate change with skills passed on through South-South Cooperation.
