“As a social worker and youth mentor who spear headed the translation of Food Plant Solutions booklets into Luganda, I have witnessed this farm literature contributing highly to information given regarding growing and production of root and leafy foods into communities. Since St. Francis Health Care services supports vulnerable households to improve nutritional diets for the sick and weak, social workers and community-based trainers have managed to train communities with ease using both the Luganda translated and English version. At the same time the trained members use these books for references and reading to help other farmers, hence increased knowledge on the Food Plant Solution program. The empowered communities of grandmothers, women and adolescents with farming skills, have received vast support mechanism from the trainers through practical skills in growing food plants and vegetables.
Productive demonstration and back yard gardens of food and plant crops have been realized through usage of Luganda translated Food Plant Solution booklets. I therefore, recommend and advocacy expanded utilization of the literature into the entire region of Buganda and Uganda at large”.
