Striving for sustainable agriculture in Uganda

The introduction of GMO seeds has made sustainable farming in Uganda a not-so-easy case to deal with since farmers seem to continuously support the existence of GMO market.

Having a family farm in Uganda may seem the simplest thing to do. Yet, the challenges are pretty high nowadays. Many farmers out there depend on agriculture. Unfortunately, the introduction of GMO seeds, the climate change affected raining season, as well as the lack of skills and knowledge regarding some more fruitful farming methods that could save a lot of energy and money, are leading towards low harvesting crop yields which directly affect the farmers’ income and their nutritional security. Martha Maria Angelopoulou, Founder and Program Manager of Food Security Center, interviews Emmanuel Buchana, External Associate of Food Security Center and Project Officer in the Agency for Integrated Rural Development (AFIRD) in Uganda. Emmanuel, mainly works on the field in Wakiso District, training local farmers and pupils towards a more sustainable way of farming and -on daily basis- he faces innumerous challenges while striving for a greener and food secured future.
