We are honored to work with the honorable @nancygtembo on #environmental issues in #Malawi, including planting #bamboo with indigenous & fruit trees to preserve our forests, protect our rivers, & ensure that our country has access to fuel and timber now & in future generations.

[Nancy Tembo @nancygtembo]

This morning, we talked environemental issues with a team from Feed The Future Malawi with special emphasis on Bamboo farming.

Feed The Future brought with them bamboo seedlings which will be donated to the people for planting during the 2020/21 National Tree Planting season.

With support from @USAIDMalawi, @FeedtheFuture is working with @UnitedPurpose & CoFi in #Malawi to create a pathway for farmers to enter into commercial farming. What crops would you like to grow under drip irrigation? #resilience #solarpower #innovation

New from @PalladiumImpact: With > 1% of land under irrigation, #Malawi's national food supply and more than 80% of the population's livelihoods are dependent on a single 🌧️ rainy season. Here's what can be done: #AgInnovation https://t.co/0kEUKWX2Wb

The world’s biggest challenges rarely fit neatly into our development sectors. This blog explores how partnerships that reach across sectors - like our work in #Malawi with @HlthPolicyPlus - can lead to more meaningful and sustainable impact @USAIDMalawi @FeedtheFuture #EndHunger

How do you store grains & legumes post-harvest? With support from @USAIDMalawi and @FeedtheFuture we provide small-holder farmers with sample hermetic bags from @PICSProgram that reduce post-harvest losses to <1% - increasing food quality and availability year-round. #EndHunger

[Feed the Future AgDiv @FtFAgDiv]

If Africa is to feed itself, and if land rights are to be applied universally, the advancement of African women farmers is a fundamental necessity, and the ability of women to access microfinance is key

When we purchased a batch of these #soy yoghurts for one of our events, the strawberry 🍓 flavor flew off the table! What flavor would you like to try?

[Zyamini Limited @mudyomw]

If you see this, know that they have that Mudyo Soy Yoghurt goodness inside!
Now available in #Dedza. Coming Soon EVERYWHERE else. 🚀

[Francisco Obreque @agrifood4future]

we have been monitoring food supply in Malawi and not yet seen any serious disruption; the main issue emerged so far is affordability, the poor and ultra poor in urban areas have limited means to get food due to the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic

[Feed the Future AgDiv @FtFAgDiv]

#DidYouKnow that July 28th is #WorldNatureConservationDay? @FeedtheFuture and @USAIDMalawi are working with @MalawiGovt to reduce deforestation and conserve our forests. Together we have planted more than 400,000 #bamboo seedlings 🌱- a sustainable alternative to fuel wood!

Great news for #soybean farmers in #Malawi.

[Soybean Innovation Lab @tropicalsoylab]

Conducting irrigated winter trials, like this one in Malawi, will speed up the process of identifying new high-performing varieties that can be registered and made available to local farmers sooner. #SecondGrowingSeason #WinterTrials #PAT
