Empowering Ugandan students through school farm camps

FAO equips students with practical agricultural skills for sustainable farming.

FAO and Gayaza High School in Uganda are working together to develop opportunities for students to learn and acquire agricultural skills while eating healthier and nutritious food. A FAO project to help the high school acquire production input and facilities is showing promising results. Through the project, a greenhouse for vegetable production was set up and so far, five tomatoe harvests were achieved. Moreover, a piggery unit was built which now holds over 50 pigs. The two facilities provide learning opportunities not only for students of the Gayaza high school, but also for the neighboring schools. In addition, FAO has been working in close collaboration with Gayaza High School to further develop it’s School Farm Camp initiative, which seeks to equip the nation’s youth with practical agricultural skills to encourage sustainable farming within the region.
