Madalitso Chipekwe and her university friend Hastings were hitchhiking when a stranger in a BMW changed their lives forever, telling them that agriculture graduates who refuse to farm are the reason Malawi is poor. That blunt conversation sparked Hastings and Mada to form Acades, where, today, they create sustainable livelihoods for youths and food security through skill develpment, financing and agri-tech.

Despite friends dropping out along the way, parents questioning their choices, and supermarkets laughing at their tiny harvests, Madalitso and Hastings kept going, eventually rallying hundreds of young farmers into organised groups with real bargaining power.

In this episode, Madalitso shares how Acades transforms the way young Malawians see farming, from something dirty and hopeless into a viable, even cool, path to prosperity, and how she's determined that Malawi won't miss the AI train the way it missed the Industrial Revolution.
