Commitment

Increase the number of people reported to be producing, purchasing, consuming/using organics and/or indigenous species

This commitment will be fulfilled through:

• Conducting a landscape analysis and feasibility studies.

• Meeting with all key partners (agriculture research, environment, climate, culture, genetic resources, etc.) to agree to a system. There is one website on species indigenous to Malawi that is run by foreigners outside of Malawi, and supporters and finders of organics are growing.
