Small-scale food producers in Malawi face challenges in accessing sufficient high-quality seeds of climate-resilient, locally adapted plant varieties due to a malfunctioning formal seed system with lengthy and expensive variety registration and certification processes. The project seeks to enhance local knowledge, skills, and capacities of small-scale food producers to improve food production and consumption in highly variable and poorly predictable agroecologies. It contributes to social cohesion, inclusion, and upholding farmers’ rights through proven methodologies, previous networking experience, and established linkages including Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) and Farmers Research Networks (FRNs).
