Consolidating practical and Scientific Study Tours on Smart Climate Agriculture by Mbale District team

We extend our focus and discussion on different rotational exposure tours to expound on experiences shared with experts to understand deeper on how best our farmers can co-exhibit different breeds in areas of practice to step up yields.

Technology adoption and adaptability aimed at reviving improved agronomy for substance and commercial farming.
The district team for Smart Climate has continued making study tours on mapped breeds into complete sessions with inclusive samples that are tolerant and yielding for farmers to adopt.

The team visited Kasolwe stock farm in Kamuli district to share experiences and understand scores on national animal genetic resources centre and data bank
and how best to integrate crops and what transpires on adaptability in the seasoned framework.
This narrative has been underscored by farmers, in occurrence to understand the patterns of agriculture and several application stances in the fields and whatever barriers recur during and after harvests.
Smart climate program underlines progress on farm matters including new adoptions from High land, Midland and lowland in a more diverse approach to best suit the agronomy on land integration and management.
Epinyu Daniel, the farm manager says kasolwe stock farm has quite a number of programmes including agro processing unit producing over 40 tones per day, with over 80 staff on board. This enables a lot of vibrant production to be underway.
Engineer Asiimwe Brian for agro processing stressed the importance of the agro processing and stages involved in feeds processing, storage and duration. Several tones are stored to stabilise prices for the farmers across the country.

The district production and marketing officer, Wanakina George Davidson stated the core value of the visiting research institute as a way of strengthening the linkages between farmers, extension workers and research because the farmers need to adopt and adapt the improved technologies and practices, they need information, knowledge and skills.
"This is the hub for research  and technological advancements aimed at reviving and improving farmers in knowledge and exposure to improving yields.
The Chief Administrative Officer, Angella AKURUT delightfully expressed gratitude to the department and called for accomplishment in the sector towards farmers.
"The lessons learnt and experiences shared should help our farmers improve on the yields and be able to sustain and cause steady incomes at household level." She appealed to the research institute for continuous learning when need be, suggesting to bring in model farmers to tap on the knowledge and build on at village level to ensure farming and mechanisation is adopted.

The Resident District Commissioner, Bayole Stanley, highlighted the milk production as a good harvest since one is able to harvest over 20 liters of milk daily, encouraging officials to replicate such farming methods in Mbale district and the Elgon region. He also promised to organize more farm tours to share knowledge and best practices.

The study tours are consolidating  planned visits to expound on experiences and skills at research institutes with the destined leadership towards fulfilling gabs between farmers and extension workers throughout the district. Several study centres remain ideal for recommendations for future studies in the near future.
