Sub-Saharan Africa leads all areas in agricultural research expenditures per farmer. A total of $360 million went to 2 agricultural research In 1980, compared with $190 million In South Asia. The SubSahara has much less to show for the money.

Have cooperatives ever worked in Uganda or is it just another borrowed concept that has been presented as a silverbullet, but has miserably failed? Shouldn't Ugandans develop their own model rather than tying itself to perpetual failure?

Congratulations all farmers on reaching this special day, the World Food Day 2026 under the theme, ""Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow."
Uganda has improved in food security however, a lot of people still sleep hungry. A country that is not food secure is not sovereign

Freedom of association is a fundamental human right; therefore, when farmers come together to form cooperatives, they do so in respect to this right. AgroRef Uganda joined @ug_lawsociety to launch its rule of law report for the 1st and 2nd quarter 2026 on 13th August 2026.
Today, we had the privilege of attending a meeting organised by @ug_lawsociety intended to validate a report that analysed the current policy & legal environment on access to justice for vulnerable persons. The report show that progress has been made but a lot remains desired.

Happy Heroes Day to you all Ugandans but mostly to our small-holder farmers who diligently till the land to keep Uganda fully fed.
Farmers are Uganda's unsung heroes.

Second Day. Africa's population will reach 2.5_ 2.6 billion by 2050.
Meeting food demand may require 70% in agricultural production
That means that agrifood systems need to be modernised.

AgroRef Uganda is represented at the ReSAKSS Annual Conference #ATOR2025 "Moving the Technology Frontiers in African Agrifood Systems", organising by @AKADEMIYA2063 & @_AfricanUnion
Key point to note is that Africa has focused on land expansion as opposed to technology adoption

It seems the challenges the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) poses to East African farming community is enormous.
