Скачать или смотреть Teddy - a young coffee farmer from Uganda tells her story

„Everything is moving on smoothly“, smiles Teddy Nakyambadda. She is a young farmer from Mityana District in Uganda. A while ago she joined our ICP-project in the region. „Before growing coffee, we could have it tough to get something to eat or to pay for school-fees“, she remembers. Lack of knowledge and exchange with the older generations results in growing dis-identification of young farmers in the region. Many are migrating to the capital Kampala – which often results in precarious employment situations.

Together everything becomes easier

With the ICP-project, Teddy learned not only good agricultural practices and how to execute post-harvesting methods. She learned to see her farm as a business because of that and the smallholder families around as a community that needs to work together.
