Malawi is one of the top 10 countries most affected by climate change and large-scale droughts and floods are becoming commonplace. Rising global temperatures expose small rainfed mono-cropping agricultural households (approximately 80% of Malawians) to potentially disastrous crop failure. Concern #Malawi works with these communities to mitigate against the impact of the increasingly unpredictable rainfall patterns, drought and dry spells, and to sustainably provide for the future. An emphasis on irrigation addresses the dependence on rainfed agriculture, and supports farmer groups to scale up irrigation using solar powered #irrigation systems. These systems allow farmers to plant a second (and often third) crop each year, increasing their #food security and generating surplus produce, which households sell to meet their housing, fuel and schooling needs.
