PELUM Malawi's National Coordinator, Nozgenji Bilima, has issued a passionate call to action, urging organizations across the nation to prioritize agro ecology and permaculture as a critical element in addressing the challenges posed by climate change. Bilima's call came during the Annual General Meeting hosted by PELUM in Mzuzu on Thursday, where key stakeholders converged to share insights and experiences.
The primary objectives of the meeting were twofold: firstly, to spotlight PELUM's ongoing initiatives in the country, and secondly, to foster a collaborative environment for mutual learning among stakeholders. This gathering, a testament to the collective commitment to sustainable practices, drew the participation of 16 organizations equally dedicated to climate change and land management issues.
Nozgenji Bilima's impassioned plea underscored the urgency of integrating agro ecology and permaculture into the broader climate change agenda. Agro ecology, a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture and land use, not only mitigates the impact of climate change but also strengthens the resilience of communities in the face of environmental challenges.
PELUM's Annual General Meeting provided an invaluable platform for knowledge exchange, where organizations shared their strategies, successes, and lessons learned in the pursuit of climate resilience. It showcased the collaborative spirit of these dedicated stakeholders, as they work collectively to build a greener and more sustainable future for Malawi.
As the world grapples with the consequences of climate change, Nozgenji Bilima's call resonates as a rallying cry for organizations to unite in their commitment to permaculture and its transformative potential. In the collective efforts of these organizations, the path towards a climate-resilient and sustainable Malawi becomes increasingly clear.
