This chapter examines the role of small-scale farms in Zimbabwe’s post-Covid-19 agricultural transformation. Covid-19 and a post pandemic context characterised by interlocking systemic and idiosyncratic crises are shown as having exacerbated existing inequalities, vulnerability, and poverty, posing significant challenges to human welfare and wellbeing. Utilising a pragmatic research paradigm and empirical evidence drawn from the rural districts of Goromonzi and Zvimba, the chapter reflects on the pandemic’s lessons and the potential role of small-scale farms in agricultural and food systems transformation. It highlights the crucial contribution of these farms in enhancing livelihoods, building resilience, and improving human welfare. The chapter posits that these farms will play a pivotal role in a post-pandemic transformative policy agenda, focusing on structural transformation, pro-poor growth, and enhanced livelihoods. It provides an analysis of the evolution of neo-liberal oriented agricultural policies and assesses how they impact farmers’ contribution to agricultural production, income generation, and food security. The chapter identifies key factors driving the transformation of small-scale farms in Zimbabwe’s agricultural and food systems architecture. The findings provide critical insights for shaping future agrarian policies and strategies for sustainable agricultural development in Zimbabwe.
