Chichewa and English
In Malawi, agricultural soils are badly degraded and acidic due to, among other causes, intensive application of chemical fertilizers for over 60 years. My company through provision and promotion of Bionitrate fertilizer is reversing the damage. Bionitrate fertilizer besides having positive impact on crop yields, neutralizes the soil acid for vibrant growth of soil microorganisms.

My understanding of permaculture has been shaped through a combination of experiential learning, cultural heritage, and formal engagement. I was mentored by elders and community practitioners who integrated indigenous knowledge systems with sustainable land practices. Additionally, I have deepened my learning through self-education—studying permaculture principles through books, workshops, and hands-on community projects. This blend of lived experience, cultural wisdom, and practical application continues to guide my approach to regenerative development and food sovereignty

My relationship to the Land is deeply spiritual, ancestral, and lived. The Land is not just where I live—it is where I listen, learn, and lead. I grew up with a reverence for nature, guided by elders who taught me to see the Land as a teacher, a healer, and a sacred relative. Through my work in social development, permaculture, and cultural preservation, I honour the Land by nurturing it, protecting it, and ensuring it continues to sustain our communities and future generations. The Land holds our stories, our struggles, and our strength—and I walk with it in gratitude and responsibility.

With a rich textured cultural heritage we lean into the modern age preferring not to be defined by our linage but rather by our actions. Currently the world is gripped in the celebration of ancestry of which we have no control neglecting the place where we all hold power “our actions”.
