Agricultural Extension & Advisory
Agricultural extension only works when it reaches the farmer in their field, in their language, at the right point in their growing season. That is the foundation of our approach.
Our extension work is delivered by trained field agents based in the communities they serve. They run Farmer Field Schools, provide one-on-one agronomic support, demonstrate climate-smart techniques, and link farmers to certified inputs, financial services, and market opportunities.
We currently operate across 21 districts in Eastern, Central, Western, and Northern Uganda, reaching 5,320 smallholder farmers through 197 structured farmer groups.
