In September 2023, we spearheaded the Advancing Climate-Smart Agriculture in Kasese District project.

This forward-thinking project equipped 63 farmers in 2 subcounties (Kitswamba and Kyabarungira) in Busongora North County in Kasese district with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the challenges of a changing climate and ensure long-term agricultural sustainability.

Objectives:

Empowering Farmers with Climate-Smart Practices: The project focused on educating farmers on a range of climate-smart agricultural techniques. This included methods for soil and water conservation, the use of drought-resistant crop varieties, and integrated pest management strategies. By equipping farmers with these tools, the project aims to enhance agricultural resilience in the face of climate variability.

Building a knowledge-sharing network: strengthened collaboration and knowledge exchange among Kasese farmers. 

The initiative established a helpful network where members exchanged best practices and insights on climate-smart agriculture through field demonstrations and farmer-to-farmer learning opportunities.
With this project, SAFI demonstrated its steadfast dedication to helping Kasese farmers and constructing a more resilient and sustainable agricultural future for the area.
