Colin Andrews – Ending African Hunger

Colin explains in some detail, the basket of technologies available to farmers who adopt Deep Bed Farming. He explains how ‘one size fits all’ can never work, how farmers are inventive, do not want handouts, but benefit from collaborative training and cross-fertilisation of methods. He explains how the problems and solutions that apply to Malawi also apply to many of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa. He leaves us with a way forward that is already raising the hopes of thousands of Farmers, both in and out of Malawi.
