Uganda boasts fertile land and a strong agricultural tradition. However, many farmers struggle with outdated methods, limited access to resources, and unpredictable weather patterns. The Adilang VTI’s agricultural program is tackling these challenges head-on.
The program equips students with practical skills in sustainable farming practices, soil conservation techniques, and modern agricultural technologies. Graduates learn about crop rotation, pest control, and efficient irrigation systems. They also gain valuable knowledge about market access and financial management, allowing them to turn their harvests into a source of income.
The impact of the program is evident in Adilang. Graduates are establishing thriving farms, producing a wider variety of crops, and experiencing increased yields. This not only improves food security within the community but also allows them to sell their surplus produce in local markets, generating income and contributing to the local economy.
The Adilang Vocational Training School’s agriculture program is a testament to the power of education and community support. As more students graduate and apply their skills, the future of agriculture in Adilang looks bright. The Dongo Paco Foundation remains committed to supporting these efforts and expanding the program to reach even more aspiring farmers.
