MISSION MOMENT: Sunday, August 11
“I decided to participate in order to differentiate between traditional farming methods and new farming techniques facilitated by Churches Action in Relief and Development (CARD) staff,” shares Lucius, a 45-year-old farmer from Malawi. “In previous years, my house experienced food insecurity, but after hearing about this type of conservation farming, my family and I were interested in starting to practice it.” Lucius adds, “I feel that this project wants us farmers to farm in the way God intended since it is teaching us how to farm while taking care of the biodiversity. The project is teaching us how to fish, not giving us fish. It addresses the real needs of our communities.” Working with local partners, PWS&D aims to strengthen the production ability and capacity of smallholder farmers so that they can withstand climate change and be more resilient when disasters hit.
