A joint project in Uganda linking Food Plant Solutions Rotary Action Group, the Rotary Club of Jinja (Uganda), and the Rotary Club of Southport Links (UK) enabled FPSRAG resources to be translated into the local tribal language. Grandmother groups support over 500 families by sharing sustainable agricultural techniques learned from FPSRAG translated resources. This empowered the women with skills to grow food, providing a nutritious diet to their charges and families.
In Uganda, the wisdom and experience of older generations are leveraged to support food security, sustainably. These grandmother groups serve as a vital link between traditional knowledge and modern practices. By combining these insights, a more holistic approach to food security, nutrition and the environment that respects cultural heritage is achieved.
