Welcome to Shamba Shape Up Uganda!

Today we’re in Namang’ang’a village, in Mukono. And we’re here to meet with Robert Ssebuyungu, the chairman of a group of 30 farmers called Balikyewunya. Robert and his wife Noeline have five children. They’re both hardworking farmers who grow maize, nakati, cassava and sweet potatoes on their two acres.

No surprises there! But wait… Robert and his group of farmers decided to go organic this year. Now that’s unusual!

In this farm we are learning about:

1. Organic Farming

2. Maize and beans

3. Nakati good farm management
