Farmers in Uganda have been busily harvesting vegetable crops, which are bountiful fruits of their labors during this season. They have been optimizing their crops with contour farming, which helps farmers shape their land based on slope in order to make sure that they’re getting the most use out of their space and optimizing water use. Farmers have also been filling in any gaps on their farms that could be more smartly utilized, helping to maximize production on their lands.
The combination of timber trees, fruit trees and vegetable plants have created more of an “abundance” mindset rather than a “scarcity” mindset with our farmers. With the Forest Garden, they have food for their family and food to take to market.
In addition, we are able to be even more earth-friendly through a countrywide distribution of biodegradable bags. These bags are used for tree nurseries and help seedlings grow strong before they are planted by farmers in their fields. This bag biodegradable bag distribution is a major step towards a more sustainable planting future, and it was completed since our last update to you.
Thank you for your support!
