Eastern and Southern Africa Small-scale farmer’s Forum (ESAFF) Zambia was established by small-scale farmers in 2003 at the farmer’s convergence that was held parallel to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) that took place in Johannesburg.

Participatory Ecological Land Use Management (PELUM) Zambia played a key facilitating role in the establishment of ESAFF Zambia. The organization currently has 137 farmer groups in the following provinces: Lusaka, Central, Eastern, Southern, Copper belt, Northern, Western and North western provinces
