Proud to have successfully presented some of my preliminary findings from my research on agroecology as a climate adaptation strategy in Malawi at the #Agriculture and Human Values Conference held in Vermont, USA.

The future of food begins with the health of our soil.
Our agricultural soils are rapidly losing their vitality with over 52% of agricultural soil worldwide already degraded. When soil loses its organic matter, it loses its ability to produce nutritious food.
For soil to be agriculturally viable, it must have a minimum of 3-6% soil organic matter (based on regional conditions). This is the foundation of food security and ecological stability for our rapidly growing population.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) harness healthy ecosystems to address the climate crisis.
🌲From agroforestry to afforestation, NBS could mitigate one-third of carbon emissions and yield $170 billion annually in ecosystem benefits, per @IUCN.

Food in Malawi is top tier. With all this advancement & modernising & westernising, I hope Malawi will never lose their food culture. The fresh, clean food that goes through no processing. The potatoes, the sweetest tomato, the unprocessed rice and mielie meal. Ndibala ntoni na!

Late Saulos Klaus Chilima gave us hope. He gave us energy and charisma. He was bold. A different kind of politician. And always had us laughing with his proverbs. Above all he served God wholeheartedly, he loved his Church, he was a servant of Christ. We are mourning. RIP
