Duration: 2017-2018 Budget: 500.000 euro Flanders supports ICRAF to inform policymakers and farmers in Malawi about the health of the soil. To protect farmers against climate change, it is important that their activities (fertilization, applying agroforestry, choice of crops, ...) align as closely as possible to the local soil health, which modifies increasingly due to climate change. ICRAF is developing, in collaboration with the Malawi government, an online searchable map that documents the characteristics of the upper soil layer (50 cm) in Malawi.

Duration: 2016-2018 Budget: 1.000.000 The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) is a research centre with headquarters in Kenya. ICRAF promotes the worldwide application and dissemination of forestry in sustainable agricultural practices in view of better food production among smallholder farmers. Since 2009 Flanders has supported ICRAF’s Agroforestry Food Security Programme in Malawi which aims to sustainably increase the maize yield for farmers in the focus districts Mzimba and Kasungo through the application of agroforestry technologies.

The objective is to allow developing countries to make a fast start on implementing adaptation and mitigation activities.
