On a tiny rented plot, Sharon is growing different crops.
This is the quiet power of smallholder urban farmers. They turn balconies, backyard into sources of food, learning, community, and sovereignty. Watch her story:https://t.co/4Ku4ioZz2R

The fight for coffee continues today!

[Charles Peter Mayiga @cpmayiga]

The Kingdom of Buganda has severally advised against scrapping UCDA since it suprintends coffee production, upon which nearly 2 million Ugandan households depend.

Apparently, scrapping UCDA is a punishment against Baganda, who contribute nearly 50% of coffee exports, since Speaker Anita Among (and those who support scrapping UCDA) see the Amendment Bill as a victory against Baganda!

Emmwanyi Terimba Initiative will go on unabated...I urge Baganda (and other Ugandans) to continue growing coffee: your livelihood is more important than the motives of present day politicians. CPM

What if young people had enough platforms to learn about environmental systems & how they can be proactive defenders of the same/What if we we explored the music, languages, and how deeply intertwined food systems & culture are?We did that @AleroSS in Nwoya district.

" Blessed are they that plant trees under whose shade they may never sit" This " Ask the Jajjas" session with young people was a conduit for exchange learning between the old and young generation-"planting trees" One of the ways for sustainable environmentalstewardship.@LornaMary

[Audacious Africa @AudaciousAfric]

In this session on adolescent health, we engaged girls and boys in sessions on body changes, mental health, substance abuse, and power. Session involved learning how to prepare food for both boys and girls. That good food contributes to healthy bodies.@KalegaSimon1 @EbonyuEtfe

[Audacious Africa @AudaciousAfric]

Children and young people are leaders of today and tomorrow. It is why we engage them in the Audacious Roots programme. Rooting their awareness of food politics and sustainable food systems so that they can make the right choices from childhood.

The time is now for you to join the movement. The present and future of Africa lie in her ability to grow food through cultural appropriate and sustainable ecological food systems. Not any other way.
