Projects

Under the MAFFA project, farmers are encouraged to grow crops such as orange maize (nthikinya), soya beans, pigeon peas, cassava, and sweet potatoes. Farmers are also trained in the production of manure, which has reduced the need for chemical fertilizers, while maintaining good yields to meet their food needs.

The Center for Resilient Agri-Food Systems (CRAFS) brings together researchers and expertise from a variety of disciplines across the University of Malawi and a wide range of stakeholders, from industry, and private and public institutions, to drive research in important themes within agri-food systems. CRAFS is funded by the World Bank, through the Government of Malawi, under the Eastern and Southern Africa Higher Education Centres of Excellence Additional Financing (ACE II AF) project.

The Human Ecology Department, Chancellor College has partnered with UNICEF Afikepo Project to provide technical support in the implementation of Afikepo project activities in Mulanje District.
