DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Promoting Agribusiness
At U-YOGA UGANDA, we view agriculture as a vital economic engine. Our goal is to transform traditional farming into a thriving agribusiness sector. By introducing modern farming techniques, providing access to quality seeds and livestock, and offering training in agribusiness management, we empower farmers to maximize productivity and profitability.

Value Addition for Food Security
We focus on adding value to agricultural produce through processing and packaging, which not only extends the shelf life of products but also enhances their market value. This approach ensures that communities have access to nutritious food throughout the year and improves the economic stability of local farmers.

Research Integration
Our agricultural practices are grounded in rigorous scientific research. We collaborate with research institutions and universities to stay abreast of the latest advancements in agricultural science. Our initiatives, such as the One Health Campaigns, address critical issues like antimicrobial resistance and emerging diseases affecting both animals and crops, ensuring sustainable and resilient farming practices.

Comprehensive Health Programs
We implement comprehensive programs that link agricultural productivity to improved health outcomes. By promoting the cultivation of nutrient-rich crops and advocating for balanced diets, we aim to combat malnutrition and foster better health within our communities.
