This document explores the impact of Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) on lead farmers in Malawi, addressing how this innovative approach equips smallholders to adapt to the challenges of climate change. PICSA integrates localized weather forecasts with farmer training and participatory decision-making to optimize agricultural outcomes. By comparing lead farmers who participated in PICSA with those who did not, the study reveals significant improvements in farming practices, maize yields, and food security. The findings underscore PICSA’s potential as an effective tool for empowering farmers in similar contexts to make informed, climate-resilient decisions.
