Farmer Field School, a program initiated about four years ago in Uganda by Action Against Hunger, a global humanitarian organization, is now building self-reliance communities in the East African country thanks to its ripple effect among learners.

To achieve this, the organization through the European Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) Response to Increased Demand in Government Service and Creation of Economic Opportunities in Uganda (RISE) Project has been working with partner organizations to teach agriculture skills and help incoming refugees learn how to improve food security.
