Tiyeni

Tiyeni is a Malawian and UK NGO empowering smallholder farmers to eradicate poverty and hunger in Malawi and neighbouring African countries, through climate smart agriculture and working with communities on the conservation of their natural resources. Food and water are critical for life. Our Deep Bed Farming method transforms farmer livelihoods and health, whilst harvesting water, improving habitats and making land more resilient to climate change. Our results have been spectacular - typically doubling and often tripling crop yields from one harvest to the next. These results are sustained and even improved over time as we build healthy soils. We do not rely on incentives and inputs to promote adoption of our methods: instead, we respond to demand for our farming technology. Word is spreading so fast that we cannot keep up with demand from farmers for training. Tiyeni means "Let's Go!" in Chichewa, Malawi's most widely spoken language.
