Sustainable Agri Food Systems and Climate Justice
Agroecology, seed sovereignty and climate justice, delivered through legal empowerment and social accountability.
Uganda grows enough food. What it does not always have is soil that will still be productive in twenty years, seed that farmers own rather than rent, or a legal framework that treats either as worth protecting.
This programme runs four Agroecology Learning Centres where regenerative practice is demonstrated rather than described. Farmers arrive sceptical, watch a plot that has had no synthetic input for three seasons, and leave with cuttings and a plan. Around that sits the legal work: seed sovereignty, agrochemical regulation, and the regional push for an East African agroecology law.
Climate justice runs through all of it. The people who did least to cause the problem are already paying for it, and adaptation that ignores land rights is not adaptation.
What we are working towards
- Make agroecology the default in East African agricultural law and policy.
- Protect farmer managed seed systems from enclosure.
- Demonstrate regenerative practice on working farms, not in reports.
How we do it
Learning centres
Four working farms in Kiboga, Naggalama, Wakiso and Nakisunga open to any farmer who wants to see the method.
Seed sovereignty
Community seed banks and the legal work needed to keep them lawful.
Regional law reform
Drafting and advancing a model agroecology law for the East African Community.
