No training nearby? No problem.

Eddie taught himself Deep Bed Farming via WhatsApp + the Tiyeni website.

Now he runs a veggie business, delivers “fresh in a box,” and teaches other young farmers. This is what youth skills look like. 🌿📱

Earlier this week, we shared the impact of Cassava Brown Streak Disease in Mulanje. But farmers kept teaching, sharing + adapting.

Visitors from BASEflow + CADECOM learned from Mr Ekhoto, Rose Gomani, Maxwell Chitala + others. Farmer-to-farmer knowledge in action. 🌱

Cassava Brown Streak Disease has reached parts of Mulanje - but farmers aren’t standing still.

With support from the Ministry of Agriculture and District Agriculture Office teams, they’re already taking action: uprooting affected plants, replanting clean tubers, and protecting future harvests. 🌱

At the launch event, Tiyeni and our colleagues provided both theoretical and practical learning for lead farmers in Chiwamba. This helps them build their skills in Integrated Catchment Management. Our goal is to empower them to share their knowledge with other farmers, as well as on their own land.
June 14, 2025 at 8:22 AM
How do you begin Integrated Catchment Management? At Tiyeni, we start with field activities for the local community. These include baseline data collection, sensitization introductory meetings, training for Lead Farmers and formation of new Committees. Here we are in action in Chiwamba.

Even more mulching... crop residues being mulched immediately leads to better soil health in the future. This is part of climate-smart agriculture, which looks at the landscape including soil, water, crops and livestock. You can learn more on our website 👉 bit.ly/4bL6wnS

Farmers who planted earlier with the first rains have their crops up for harvesting. Through our decentralised approach, farmers are conducting the activity in groups to promote group synergy & share knowledge.

Mr Chamsanga Nyirongo, a Lead Farmer in our Emsizini hub, expects a harvest of over 8 tonnes per hectare this season!

Harvest season also means mulching season! In contrast to the common yet environmentally-destructive process of burning crop residue after harvest, DBF farmers leave reside to decompose on their land as mulch, which actively benefits the environment. Learn more: bit.ly/4jsLOw1
