Resilience Food Stories - JAMBO
The Mugisa Tadeo family lives in the west of Uganda. A couple with seven children, they all live on a five-acre patch of land that has belonged to the family for generations. They live from what grows there: bananas, maize and coffee. The coffee earns them a meagre income. Kawoda is an organization that gives farmers help in improving their agricultural productivity. Through Kawoda they learn about new, sustainable production methods that render them more resilient to climate shocks, and they also get access to better-quality seed. Diversification is key to agro-ecological transitions that will ensure food security and good nutrition, while conserving, protecting and enhancing natural resources.
