Sustainable Agriculture

The East African region momentarily faces famine conditions due to crop failure although the region is littered with lakes and running water bodies in form of rivers. From the onset, it appears that agricultural technology is as old as the cultures of the inhabitants of this region. Exposure therefore is the most viable solution for this situation. The missioners will bare the responsibility of impacting these people and equipping them for an agricultural revolution.

The most planted crops here is maize of which many people prefer growing due to its long term sustainability. Taste of Africa and her Community Development Project partners are promoting re-introduction of African indigenous vegetables and crops to ensure food security for the community and environmentally sustainable source of immune system-building fruits and vegetables and a viable source of income.

For example the Unyolo Village Program’s demonstration farm at the Center is used to train, educate and encourage the community to adopt environment friendly systems like organic farming to better farm economics on planning and timing in order to realize surplus for the whole year.

The Unyolo Village Center uses the produce to feed the orphans and the HIV/AIDS patients who are not able to care for themselves. The excess surplus is sold to support the project sustainability.

The center has a poultry farm raising chickens (layers). There is nothing better than a freshly laid chicken egg. You are probably familiar with the incredible egg when it comes to nutrition. The children have it all from our poultry. The excess surplus is sold to support the centre.

They use poultry manure to grow, fruit & vegetable gardens, this is really the best fertilizer on the entire planet!

The missioner will encourage farming through manual irrigation and poultry farming within the Community Center.
