Making millions from organic farming
From Kasana town in Bulema Lwogi village in rural Luwero district is a farmer whose agricultural undertaking is paying off. Reaping over Shs4m per year from growing pineapples alone, Ronald Sebbanga is one of several farmers in rural Luwero district who have taken up organic agriculture.
According to Ms Jackline Kabahinda, a policy and advocacy officer with the National Organic Agricultural Movement of Uganda (Nogamu), organic agriculture is a type of farming where farmers don't use any artificial agricultural inputs like fertilisers. Farmers rely on the natural ecosystem to produce all the necessary nutrients of the soil.
Organic agriculture is known to deliver environmental benefits, human and animal welfare as well as general rural development. The development of organic agriculture is therefore a policy choice based on environment and development grounds," Kabahinda said. more]]
