Daimoni in his deep bed field is so impressed with the status of his field compared with the surrounding conventional fields.

Despite the recent devastating floods in some areas, there are also very good crops in other areas where there was no flooding and many are very happy with their strong crops.

See the crop progress from one of our projects in February. The video below with Isaac, Tiyeni Executive Director in Malawi, shows the big difference our farming method makes. #TheTiyeniEffect

Same seeds, same planting dates, and weather, but look at the difference! On the right is an example of Deep Bed farming. On the left is maize grown on conventional ridges.

The big variation in crop growth is due to our regenerative farming method - Deep Bed farming.
