study sets out to assess the impact of the fast track land reform on IKS in resettled areas with emphasis on
matters of food security. A survey of resettled areas shall be conducted in 5 A1 and 5 A2 farms in Chinhoyi
Mashonaland West and the same number in Mavise- Midlands Province. Findings are largely that because

mixing of people from different cultures, some indigenous knowledge got destroyed, eroded and even erased |
