Temwa Malawi Trains Households on Sustainable Agriculture to Boost Crop Harvests

Malawi: Temwa Malawi, with support from Scope-Malawi, recently trained 20 households and two schools in Nkhata Bay district on sustainable agriculture practices to improve crop harvests and reduce farm input costs, writes Victor Musongole.

The 5-day training covered Integrated Land Use and Design (ILUD) techniques, including manure making, mixed cropping, water harvesting-bed design, soil improvement, and integrated pest management.

Emmanuel Msopole, a farmer from Kawalasisi, said the training opened his eyes.

Violet M’bena, the headteacher at Muzgola Primary, said the training would help local farmers make use of readily available materials to harvest more.

Kondwani Botha, Country Programs Director for Temwa Malawi, said the organization's goal was to promote sustainable agriculture practices.
