Abstract: This research delves into the agro-ecological transitions occurring in Malawi, emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices that enhance food security and resilience in the face of climate change. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys targeting smallholder farmers across diverse regions in Malawi. Key findings reveal that agro-ecological practices, including intercropping and organic farming, not only bolster soil health and crop yields but also diminish reliance on chemical fertilizers. Additionally, the research underscores the crucial role of local knowledge and community involvement in facilitating these transitions. Ultimately, the study concludes that promoting agro-ecological practices can create more resilient food systems in Malawi, effectively addressing both environmental sustainability and socio-economic challenges.
