PELUM Uganda organised a 2-day National Agroecology Actors Symposium (NAAS 1) as the first of its kind in the country. The event was held from 30th to 31st May at Silver Springs Hotel in Bugolobi, Kampala. It was Moderated by Charles Odontho, NBS. It brought together various stakeholders ranging from farmers, private sector, research and academia, government institutions, non-government organisations, international organisations, media and the general public. The event aimed at facilitating collective learning (experience sharing), marketing, and dialogue on agroecology towards a process for development of a robust and inclusive national strategy/ roadmap for scaling up of Agroecology in Uganda. The event also led to formulation of a National Agroecology Actors platform to facilitate knowledge sharing, networking and joint action. |
