New students at Just Earth Uganda

Welcome to Just Earth Uganda’s Newsletter!

What’s happening in Uganda right now?

What has happened?

May has been a busy month at Just Earth Uganda’s Farmer Field Schools. Our students have completed intensive training sessions focused on the establishment and management of so-called “nurseries”—dedicated plots for raising seedlings from seed or cuttings before transplanting them. They’ve also learned about seed selection and planting methods. Each week the farmers have taken part in hands-on sessions, making nursery management one of their favorite topics.

Our team also conducted the first farm visits of the year, which are crucial for our trainers to understand and support each farmer’s individual needs.

The Road to Sustainability

Dairy Farm: Construction of the farm manager’s house, the barn, and the latrine is progressing and will soon be complete. We’ve also preserved feed for the cows about to arrive by preparing silage and hay sufficient to feed five cows for six months—and we continue to build up our reserves.

Coffee by Just Earth: Amos keeps traveling around Uganda in search of the best bean for our coffee project. Over the past month he’s explored northern regions to test a new variety different from those he’s researched before.
