Malawi women make banana wine to fight climate change

Female banana farmers in northern Malawi have found a creative solution to combat the impacts of climate change, which have recently devastated their crops. They are making wine from overripe bananas that go bad because of extreme conditions. With support from the COMSIP Cooperative Union, the initiative serves as a unique example of how communities in Malawi are innovatively addressing the effects of climate change.
