The Nation published an article that stated Malawi’s farm inputs subsidies have come under fresh scrutiny in a book that laments the immense burden they exert on the country’s economy amid continued investment in relief food. In his new book titled Disentangling Food Security from Subsistence Agriculture in Malawi launched last week, senior research fellow Todd Benson observed that despite investing billions of kwacha each year in the food security initiative, an average 1.8 million Malawians still need relief food from the Malawi Government and its partners.
