How Nairobi School Children are Growing the Future. Mwiki and Thawabu Primary School children are cultivating vibrant urban farms, nurturing a deep connection to the land and each other.

In just 46 days, a group of dedicated farmers in Malawi has defied the odds, demonstrating the incredible potential of permaculture and agroecological systems.

PPI donated tree seedlings to Mary’s Meals Malawi, which were distributed to 11 schools in Mchinji under the school feed program

By adopting permaculture techniques, farmers are able to grow a variety of crops on the same piece of land in rotation and guilds, thereby increasing their yields and improving food security.

The average farmer in Malawi relies on subsistence farming and struggles to afford seeds and chemical fertilizers, resulting in low yields.

Regenerative agriculture will not be realised at a meaningful scale without the buy-in of millions of smallholder farmers.

Eucalyptus is a fast-growing plant and can live a long life, accompanying the forest until its maturity.

Expand urban farming practices worldwide to rekindle our relationship with fresh, diverse, nutritious, and just food.

“…even after the project is phased out, the farmers will be able to make compost on their own because they’re using resources next to their door step as compared to the government.”

Agroforestry is helping return life to the land in Central America. Root systems help prevent rainwater runoff and soil erosion and “build terraces of fertility over time”. The plants also sequester carbon and provide the community with a wider variety of food. So far, over 400,000 trees have been planted across 125 villages.
