Today, we had a great engagement with our partners at Timveni Radio Station, where we discussed an exciting opportunity to bring important conversations about human health and nutrition closer to our communities. 🎙️

Through this partnership, we plan to broadcast live every fortnight, sharing practical knowledge, expert insights, and evidence-based information on nutrition, healthy eating, and overall well-being.

I am truly grateful for this opportunity to share our knowledge and contribute to building a healthier, better-informed community.

What has touched me most is receiving follow-up calls after our meeting. These calls remind me that the work we do matters, that people are listening, and that there is a real need for accessible, reliable health and nutrition information.

A healthier community begins with knowledge, meaningful conversations, and practical action.

Thank you, Timveni Radio, for partnering with us to make health and nutrition education more accessible. We look forward to learning, sharing, and making a difference together!

Agroecology is not simply about how we grow food. It is about how we build food systems that nourish people, sustain the environment and create opportunities for rural communities.

The question is not whether we can afford to transform our food systems, but whether we can afford not to.

What agroecological practice has made the biggest difference in your farming community?

Can insects like Crickets and grasshoppers Help Transform Malawi’s Food Systems? 🦗

We are excited to be participating in the Lilongwe Food Systems Learning Event at Eden Estates, Lilongwe, where NutriCare Malawi will showcase our insect-based food innovations and share lessons from our work in sustainable food systems.

What makes our innovation exciting?

At NutriCare MW we are exploring how cricket farming and insect-based food processing can connect nutrition, agriculture, and enterprise development.

âś… Nutrition innovation: Incorporating insect protein into fortified porridge flour and cricket-fortified salt.

♻️ Circular agriculture: Exploring the potential of insect frass as a soil amendment to support household gardens and nutrient recycling, subject to appropriate testing.

👩🏽‍🌾Inclusive livelihoods: Creating opportunities for women and young people in insect farming, processing, and marketing.

Local solutions: Demonstrating how homegrown innovations can contribute to more resilient and nutrition-sensitive food systems.

We are grateful to our partners, Norwegian Church Aid Malawi (NCA–DCA), through the Innovation Fund. Their support has helped NutriCare advance our innovation and turn ideas into practical initiatives.

I am also privileged to participate as an African Food Changemakers (AFC) Ambassador in Malawi. This provides an opportunity to share AFC’s work supporting African food entrepreneurs and promoting sustainable, inclusive, and resilient agri-food systems, including agroecological sustainability.

Our proposed pitch, “From Crickets to Food: Unlocking the Potential of Insect Farming for Sustainable and Nutrition-Sensitive Food Systems in Malawi,” reflects our belief that the future of food requires fresh thinking, local innovation, and collaboration.

A question for fellow innovators: How can we make insect-based foods safe, affordable, acceptable to consumers, and commercially viable while creating opportunities for local communities?

Let’s connect, exchange ideas, and build food systems that work for both people and the planet.

🎉 Happy New Month — October! 🎊

What if some of the solutions to Malawi’s nutrition and food-system challenges are already within our communities?

At NutriCare MW, this is a question that continues to drive our work.

We were privileged to participate in the 2026 National NGO Day, where we showcased our insect-based nutrition innovations as part of our contribution to building healthier, more resilient and inclusive food systems in Malawi.

Our work explores how locally available resources, including insects, can be transformed into safe, nutritious and affordable food products with potential to contribute to better diets, livelihoods and food-system resilience.

But innovation does not happen alone.

We could not have come this far without our partners, particularly Norwegian Church Aid Malawi NCA-DCA, who have believed in our ideas and held our hand through funding and support. Their partnership has helped us move from ideas and experimentation towards practical innovations that we can test, improve and take closer to communities.

I was also privileged, as the Food Changemakers (AFC) Ambassador in Malawi, to introduce AFC and its activities to fellow farmers and innovators.

The message is simple:

Africa has the people, knowledge and resources to transform its own food systems.

Through collaboration, we can learn from one another, support local innovators and build food systems that are:

🌱 More sustainable
🥣 More nutritious
👩🏾‍🌾 More inclusive
đź’ˇ More innovative
🤝 More locally driven

The theme of this year’s National NGO Day — “Doing More with Less: Partnerships, Innovation and Efficiency for Inclusive Development” — reminds us that meaningful change is not always about having more resources. Sometimes, it is about using what we have differently, working together and creating solutions that respond to real community needs.

At NutriCare, we will continue working with farmers, communities, development partners and fellow African food-system changemakers to turn local ideas into practical solutions.

The future of Africa’s food systems will be shaped not only by what we produce, but by how we innovate, collaborate and ensure that nutritious food is accessible to those who need it most.

Here’s to a new month of innovation, partnerships and impact. 🇲🇼🌍

700 KG OF NUTRITION. 250 CHILDREN. ONE BIGGER DREAM.

Today, we produced and delivered 700 kg of our premium insect-fortified protein porridge to one of our valued returning customers — Child Legacy International Church, Msundwe, Malawi . 🙌🏾

But this is more than just 700 kg of porridge.

It means 250 children will have access to this nutritious porridge every day as they learn and grow at the institution.

Our porridge is specially formulated with insect-derived animal protein and naturally occurring organic zinc, bringing an innovative, affordable and locally produced nutrition solution to Malawi’s nutrition challenges.

Why does this matter?

Malawi continues to face significant nutrition gaps, including high levels of micronutrient deficiencies and child malnutrition. We believe that tackling these challenges requires local innovation, affordable nutrition and foods that people can actually access and consume consistently.

And this is exactly what we are building at NutriCare MW

🏆 An award-winning Malawian innovation
🌱 Locally produced
🦗 Insect-powered protein
💪🏾 Nutrient-dense
🥣 Designed for affordable nutrition
🇲🇼 Built to address Malawi’s nutrition challenges

Today’s delivery is also a reminder that innovation becomes meaningful when it reaches people’s plates.

We are deeply grateful to Norwegian Church Aid Malawi (NCA) and NCA-DCA partners for believing in this innovation and supporting us to turn what once looked like a crazy idea into a growing reality.

From insects → to protein → to fortified food → to healthier communities.

And we are only getting started.

Interested in ordering our insect-fortified protein porridge for your school, organisation, institution or nutrition programme?

We produce strictly on booking.

Digitalising Urban Markets: Building a Smarter Food System in Lilongwe

Today, we are on the ground monitoring the rollout of digital market revenue collection in Lilongwe, working alongside Lilongwe City Council revenue collectors, First Capital Bank and market vendors.

Vendors are being supported to use *USSD 411 # and their unique vendor codes to make market-fee payments through the digital wallet.

But this is about much more than paying market fees.

It is about building the foundations of a more transparent, data-driven and resilient urban food system.

When market transactions are properly recorded, cities can better understand:

🥬 Who is trading and where — strengthening vendor records and market planning.
💰 How revenue is collected — improving transparency, accountability and reconciliation.
🏪 How markets are performing — generating better evidence for investment and infrastructure planning.
🚰 Where services are needed — supporting planning for sanitation, water, waste management and other market services.
🍎 How food moves through urban markets — creating better opportunities to strengthen food safety, nutrition and healthy food environments.
📊 How decisions are made — moving from assumptions to real-time, evidence-informed urban management.

And perhaps the most important lesson?

Digital transformation is not just about technology. It is about people.

Today, First Capital Bank agents and Council revenue collectors are not simply introducing a system—they are standing with vendors, demonstrating, answering questions and building confidence at the point of use.

Because:

Technology works better when people are part of the solution.

This is how we build smarter markets, stronger local economies and healthier urban food systems—one vendor, one transaction and one market at a time.

Proud to see Lilongwe City Council, Civic Office + ICLEI Africa + NutriCare MW First Capital Bank plc, Capital City Branch, Lilongwe + our market vendors working together to turn digitalisation into practical change.

The future of urban food systems will be digital—but it must also be inclusive, trusted and people-centre

Strengthening Our Systems, Strengthening Our Impact

Today, our NutriCare team continued an important capacity-building session with Norwegian Church Aid Malawi NCA–DCA, focusing on recommended procurement processes, financial reporting, and results frameworks.

The session has strengthened our understanding of the systems and practices needed to ensure that our operations are transparent, accountable, auditable, investment-ready, and fully aligned with donor compliance requirements.

For us, strong systems are not just about compliance—they are about building a credible, sustainable organisation that can responsibly manage resources and deliver greater impact to the communities we serve.

Building systems. Strengthening accountability. Preparing for investment. Delivering impact.

Celebrating Malawi’s Food Heritage Through Innovation

We were proud to participate in the 5th Sustainability Festival, organised by SCOPE Malawi at Gateway Mall, Lilongwe, under the inspiring theme: “From Seed to Meal: Honouring Our Food Heritage.”

At NutriCare, we showcased our insect-roasted products, demonstrating how locally available food resources can be transformed into nutritious, innovative and sustainable food products.

Our participation was made possible through support from the Norwegian Church Aid Malawi NCA-DCA Innovation Grant, which continues to support our work in advancing insect-based nutrition and sustainable food solutions in Malawi.

As an African Food Changemakers (AFC) Ambassador, I was also honoured to be part of this important platform—connecting with fellow changemakers, young people, entrepreneurs and food-system actors who are shaping Africa’s food future.

For me, this was more than an exhibition. It was an opportunity to demonstrate that Malawi’s food heritage and innovation can go hand in hand—creating healthier diets, new enterprise opportunities and more sustainable food systems.

From our indigenous foods to new forms of nutrition, the future of African food is already being created here in Malawi.
