Promoting Biodiversity and Food Security in Malawi

Our Partnership

We worked with Malawian farmers and scholars from Canada, Germany, Norway and the United States to promote improved food security and protect biodiversity in an area that has been deeply affected by changes in climate and land use. We believe the research and ingenuity achieved by collaborating with scholars from peer institutions like Cornell University is needed to understand these processes and develop near- and long-term solutions.
