Scaling through Partnerships
In 2025, we are working on a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Malawi through the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.
This partnership will mark a new chapter in agricultural innovation, as the Ministry of Agriculture will adopt the AI Farmer tool to provide training and advisory services to farmers. Over the next five years, this collaboration will enable ACADES to work alongside 215 extension workers across the country to deliver digital extension services, benefiting 125,000 farmers and driving transformative change in agriculture.
