Agriculture and Food Security

Agriculture is the backbone of Malawi's economy and a key focus area for CAEM. Our goal is to ensure that communities have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food, even in the face of climate change and economic challenges.

Our Approach

We work closely with farmers to build resilient agricultural systems that prioritize sustainability and gender inclusion. Our initiatives include:

Climate-Smart Agriculture

Promoting practices such as crop rotation, agroforestry, and water conservation to improve productivity while reducing environmental impact.

Farmer Training Programs

Equipping farmers, especially women, with skills in sustainable farming, post-harvest handling, and market access.

Seed Distribution and Support

Providing drought-resistant seeds to enhance food security in vulnerable regions.

Nutrition Education

Teaching communities about balanced diets and the importance of diversified farming.

Our Core Objectives

Increase food security for thousands of households.

Empower women to take on leadership roles in farming cooperatives.

Reduce dependency on harmful agricultural practices.

CAEM's Future Goals

We aim to scale up our climate-smart agricultural programs, strengthen supply chains for smallholder farmers, and improve access to markets
