AGROFORESTRY FOR FOOD SECURITY
Description
Malawi is one of the most densely populated and least developed countries in Africa. Its population has increased from 5.3 million in 1975 to over 17 million people in 2014. Ninety percent of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Most Malawians rely on wood and charcoal for their energy needs.
