| description | “We are all targeting the same farmer,” noted Mr. Raphael Msyali, Chief Agriculture Officer for Mzimba District. Meanwhile, Mrs. Everlister Chidothi, a representative of Traditional Authority Mlumbe in Zomba District, emphasized the need to reach more farmers. These statements, though seemingly contrasting, highlight a common goal from field days in Mzimba and Zomba: the necessity of a unified, collaborative approach to farming systems. To effectively support farmers, organizations implementing diverse innovations must work together to bundle their complementary products and services, addressing farmers’ specific needs.
The CGIAR initiative on Mixed Farming Systems (MFS) field days held in April 2024 provided an ideal platform for CGIAR centers and partners to showcase mixed farming system innovations. Held in Chulu and Mtunthama EPAs in Kasungu District, Champhira EPA in Mzimba District, and Thondwe EPA in Zomba District, the events attracted about 1,940 participants, including 1,006 female farmers, 688 male farmers, and 246 children. These field days not only showcased core MFS innovations but also offered a broader platform for partners to exhibit complementary innovations and share knowledge on optimizing MFS benefits. |
