This study examines sustainable agriculture practices adopted by smallholder farmers in Burkinabé villages within the context of Malawi's agricultural landscape. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative data from farmer surveys and qualitative insights through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Sustainable agriculture practices were adopted by 60% of smallholder farmers, primarily in the form of crop rotation and intercropping. However, lack of access to credit and extension services hindered their full implementation. Despite challenges, sustainable farming techniques show promise for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability in Malawi's rural areas. Policy recommendations include enhancing farmer education programmes, providing financial support, and strengthening institutional partnerships to facilitate wider adoption of these practices.
