PELUM Uganda finishes its farmer-led documentation project
For the past few years, PELUM Uganda - with the support of Oxfam Novib and  PROLINNOVA - has been working on a major project to discover and share good ways of having farmers document their knowledge and practices. "Farmer-led documentation", as it's called, is an empowering, participatory way for farmers to share and learn about what works and what doesn't, in order to improve their farming. In March 2010, the project finished and a useful report (pdf, 1.8MB) -- containing case studies, lessons and tips -- was produced.

PELUM Uganda works hard to promote indigenous food

As part of its work on indigenous food, PELUM Uganda held a food fair, from which it produced a video. Here's a clip. The full video can be found on our YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PELUMAssociation

Stella's a star!
Stella Lutalo, the country coordinator, recently attended an AgriProFocus workshop, during which she was interviewed about Pelum Uganda. The interview is on YouTube.
