This write-up provides the experiences that the author has gone through as part of his PhD study being conducted under the Community Action Research Programme (CARP) at Bunda College of the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR). It gives an overview of the following aspects: number of farmers directly involved in CARP, number of farmers reached through outreach events, comments by farmers on changes realised as a direct result of the author’s work, personal experiences – best times, lessons learnt and challenges and what the author plans to do after graduation in relation to what he has been doing in the study. His main message is that the CARP programme provides opportunity for experiential learning by both university and community actors.
