Agri-Ecology Media, an agriculture and environment lobby group, has called on the Malawi government to support urban farming to boost food security. The group said the measure would counter rapid urbanisation and poor yields in the rural areas, which account for 95 percent of the country's agricultural produce. Charles Mkula, Secretary of the Agri-Ecology Media, said town planners should integrate urban farming into planning policies to maximise the benefits in the welfare of urban dwellers.
