The @narouganda#Communications team is meeting to launch a Community of Practice (CoP) designed to supercharge NARO's #visibility and fast-track our #cutting edge technologies, innovations, and management practices (TIMPs) straight to #farmers nationwide.
Venue: @NARO_MUZARDI
Visited this afternoon Tripple J Agro farm in Bombo. Its an 80 acre dairy farm with 140 dairy animals indoors ( zero grazing). They are powering their operations 100% with Bio-gas from the animal waste. Its zero waste for them.
They are also processing yogurt and gradually going into pasteurized and powdered milk.
Excited to see commercial farmers investing and developing whole value chains on farm and therefore creating Jobs!
Our strategy as government in the next 5 years is to ensure that all clusters of farmers ( small, medium & large ) get supported to fully produce with added value. PDM interventions will be scaled up to support more small holders while favorable ( low or no interest) credit facilities will be rolled-out through UDB and other government banks to support the medium and large scale clusters. This is how the agriculture sector will create more jobs and contribute substantially to the 10 fold growth strategy of the economy and be able to sustain the agro-industries.
Mark your calendars for this year’s #SeedsofGold Farm Clinics:
