Sustainable and ecological farming

The "Sustainable Agriculture" project brings the local population closer to sustainability.
To protect the environment and the soil and for high-yield harvests, it advocates efficient use of the land, natural pest control and soil conservation, and trains the local population on these issues. The project works on building a self-sufficient and sustainable agriculture the people of Uganda. For this purpose, vegetables are grown and pigs and poultry are raised.. In addition, it is planned to help the children take lessons in sustainable agriculture so that they can sustainably support themselves in adulthood.
Your tasks include:
• Cutting and cleaning up the grass areas around the gardens, farms and school.
• Planting, weeding, and watering of plants and trees.
• Helping take care of the livestock
• Addressing various community needs
• Learning about the use of nutrient rich water for soil-less farming (hydroponic farming)
• Working up close with local farmers will not only teach you new skills, but will also allow you to get authentically immersed in a new culture and lifestyle. Volunteers not only help support the local economy, but, most importantly, the livelihoods of the people who depend upon it.

This project in sustainable agriculture is an excellent fit for participants who are interested in farming, agriculture, and sustainable practices. Volunteers who are curious about agricultural procedures and how they play a role in communities around the world find these projects engaging and informative. Participants with any or no experience with farming or sustainable agriculture can contribute in invaluable ways to these projects; the most important qualification is that volunteers are not averse to rolling up their sleeves, getting their hands dirty, and spending time outdoors.

Typical week : a volunteer wakes up about 6:30am, prepares him/herself, takes breakfast at 7:30am, starts their journey to the placement, work starts at 9am, they break off for lunch at 1pm then work again till 4pm or so.
