Malawi "Freedom Gardens" organic farming

Contact Name: Glyvyns Chinkhuntha

Contact Address: Mr Chinkhuntha The Permaculture Society of Malawi and the Organic Farmers Club PO Box 70 Dowa, Malawi


Activity Description: It took 16 years of hard labour to reclaim land from swamps and to construct terraces and a drainage and irrigation system at Tikondwe Freedom Gardens. The 20-hectare Garden is a successful example of organic fruit and vegetable cultivation by the local population. They are a place for experimentation aimed at minimising pressure on the environment.

Operated by Mr Chikhuntha, the enterprise is expanding into poultry and fish farming. Internships and practical training courses in irrigation, permaculture design, and natural pest management are planned for the near future.
