things are bad in Malawi the money is nearly worthless and not enough food I want to help but don't know how I need your thoughts prayers and ideas #malawi #travel
Rabbits are a very quick meat supply. 1 or 2 can reproduce litters 2 to 3 times a year. Aeroponic towers are relatively cheap to build using plastic 50 gallon drums or storage totes and a water pump. Can grow green leafy vegetables very quickly and take up almost no space relative to fields, plus if you put netting around them, no need for pesticides and alike things. Just the two I can think of that do not require a lot.
Rabbit is the best, they multiply fast and they eat least ... If you can find a good breed that will help you match ... Any green leaf veggies will grow fast ...
All the rabbits were killed and eaten months ago.Its a nice idea if I can find any.There are no plastic barrels here except a few that people import from other countries.Remember,this is Africa.
Squash. It grows fast, nutritious and is bountiful. Suitable for almost all of the African climate. Hybrids would cost some more, but also bigger and faster reproducing, but even the heirlooms grow fairly fast and produce lots. Cucumbers, also bountiful and fast, almost as much as squash. Also varieties suitable for the climate. Corn too expensive and depletes the soil. Sphagnum grass, provides micro greens fast, can be ate while other things grow, harvest once mature for grain as feed for humans/animals. Peas, snap, sugar and traditional green. Less bountiful but reinvigorates the soil, nitrogen locker. Mulch the pea plants or suitable for animal (goats, cows, horse) feed. Squash and cucumber plants also good mulch. Sorghum, fast grow, suitable, provides sweetener (molasses) and rich in minerals. Later and longer grow season, but storage food and transportable : legumes, all types, pinto, black eye peas, red beans, lima, lentils especially lentils ancient crop and African climate, all legumes rich in protein and trace minerals. Peanuts. Peanuts? Yes, nitrogen and soil builder, source of carbohydrate, storage. Silage for animals, hulls good for soil retention.
Malawi just had a cyclone for its first time in history then came the floods then the currency lost half its value it's really hard to watch hungry children
I feel ya brother. Nobody should ever go hungry or thirsty. It angers me…but it angers me even more that there’s no outrage for people right here at home, in the USA that go hungry, thirsty, and homeless every single day…it sickens me when someone can find the courage walk up to another human being, look them square in the eyes, and say I am hungry, i am thirsty, can you spare some change”? And then get completely ignored as if they weren’t even there…sickening behavior. Evil behavior. IGNORE amd IGNORANCE…are the same words. We know who you are…
You can't stop what's happening. But it will be over soon. But rabbits and potatoes would be your best bet but I honestly don't know how they would grow in their soil.
Im English my wifes Malawian an were developing our farm on the Vipya plateau well be over again in a months time so if you want to meet up an go through some ideas let me know 👍
I know what you mean, unfortunately I have no idea to help with, but keep doing what you can, it still helps. To try to explain what is happening, one will end up getting involved with politics, and that's a slippery slope terrain. Poverty in Africa is systemic, and trying to find the solution might end one in a terrible situation.
Try growing cassava. 50000 pound yield per acre. I grow it in Florida and it grows in any soil. You can make flour out of cassava or just boil the tuber for food. Delicious.
Yes everyone here that owns land grows cassava and we eat the leaves as greens as well but too much rain means no crops.Nothing grows well under water.
Grow kale spinish start a garden and start with plants that grow well in your area you can go on line to discover these veggies and for protein fine a hog farmer or beef farmer and buy directly if your buy the water talk to fisher people to get fish I hope this help I know this all cost but you have to start at point a to get to c ok
@@americaninparadise3971 I’m sure there are small animals still available and bodies of fresh water and rivers and streams….. traps….Fish traps….During the American Great Depression trappers still ate even though the large game was hunted out.
@@andisenPhiri-fp9ux most people supported the rabbit farming. We will be learning things on line and share ideas and resources to our friends in the villages we usually visit
@@americaninparadise3971 Thank you for reaching out and seeking solutions to address hunger and food insecurity in the selected communities. I'm more than happy to help! I am a fourth year student at Mzuzu University. I am doing research on "the history of food crisis in Malawi from 1949 to 2024 ". Two months ago, I was collecting data and I feel sorry for my country seeing the situation at the ground. So watching your video, I felt touched and at the same time happy since I know I am not alone who has passion to help those starving in the communities. Coming back, to provide comprehensive and actionable ideas, I suggest compiling a document that outlines fast-growing crops and animals that can help feed those in need. This document can include: 1. Quick-yielding crops: Leafy greens (lettuce, kale, spinach), Beans, pumpkin leaves 2. Fast-growing animals: Chickens (eggs and meat) and Rabbits (meat) 3. Innovative farming methods such as making organic fertiliser eg Mbeya 4. Food preservation techniques This document can also include practical tips for implementation, space and resource requirements, and potential challenges and solutions Let's work together to create a valuable resource that can help make a positive impact in the selected community. I would like to know the areas before I start compiling the document. And I can not send here. We can always talk through My email address: phiriandisen42@gmail.com WhatsApp only :265881887445
hmmm not for long since they are being filled up with illegals and lets not forget what's going on with the white farmers in Africa.. They are being slaughtered for their land. @@americaninparadise3971
How to make a little go a long way. First learn how to grow sprouts, they take less than time most anything else. Second, pigs, find some raw land and buy sows a couple bores. Those two things alone can feed many with little investment. I mentioned raw land, because the pigs will fatten up on the growth on the land. The comments here are good ones, and inexpensive.
Thousands will also starve thinking they have a good food source becayse rabbits are not good to aurvive on protuen sure but if you eat them only and dont have fat intake youll still starve to death just super slowly fat gets low enough nerves dont work just like not having water
Malabar spinach is a fast-growing vine and you can eat pretty much all of it even the roots, very nutritious. Radishes can produce in as little as 30 days. Winged beans (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) produce an amazing amount of food and are very high in protein.
Its a nice thought but Those exotic plant seeds will take months to get here then more months to grow out.I can give you the address if you want to send some seeds.
