Backyard Gardening; a Convenient and year-round food basket

Through the GLFx, AIM is implementing a Landscape Restoration and Management project to expose the Economic Benefits for Local Communities in the Dowa district. The initiative is facilitating the establishment of a 5000-fruit tree seedling nursery that will enhance the formation of food forests across the Nsokonezi area to improve farmer household access to nutritious fruits, income, and soil management for soil loss prevention. In addition, the project also promotes the establishment of home gardens using agroecology and climate-smart approaches and techniques, including manure making, integrated fruit tree and vegetable pest management, food preservation and safe storage to harness food and nutrition security. The project targets 50 vulnerable households in the area.

Project Location: Nsokonezi Village, T/A Dzoole, Dowa District, Malawi
