Agro-Tourism

Integrated Farms Uganda is promoting Agro-tourism with an objective of sharing information and experiences on the concepts of regenerative agriculture and agroecology for improved food security, livelihoods and community resilience to climate change impacts.

Our ambition is to see how Agro-tourism can be better aligned with farming activities, associated regeneration, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable management of the environment and natural resources for greater benefits to smallholder farmers and contribution towards regenerative economic transformation at different scales i.e. village, community, local, national and international levels.

Integrated Farms Uganda is working in collaboration with like-minded partners such as: Agro-Tourism Association; Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industries and Fisheries; Uganda Wildlife Authority to drive this ambition.

A) Transect walk on the farms to appreciate integrated enterprise management (trees – both indigenous and exotic species; goats, coffee, bees/apiary) and practices (e.g. goat manure application, pruning, grazing by the goats).
B) Tending to goats while they are grazing in the agroforestry managed system
C) Feeding chicken managed in a free-range regenerative management system
D) Interactions on key considerations to establishing an Integrated Farm. Thus, the interaction can be designed based on the interests of the tourist/guest.
E) Interactions on sustainable land management, soil and water conservation. Thus, the interaction can be designed based on the interests of the tourist/guest.
G) Interactions on sustainable bee keeping. Thus, the interaction can be designed based on the interests of the tourist/guest.
H) Goat and regenerative chicken roasting
I) Visiting smallholder farmers that have learnt and adopted integrated farming practices through interaction with Integrated Farms Uganda

1) Tourists with interests in agrobiodiversity and biodiversity conservation, climate action (resilience)

2) Students/Pupils interested in learning about Integrated farming practices, environment conservation and management

3) Development actors (i.e. Government Institutions; Non-Government Organizations; Academic and Research Institutions) interested in exposing farming communities about integrated farming practices, regenerative and agroecology concepts and principles.

4) Private sector actors interested in investing in integrated farming, agrobiodiversity and biodiversity conservation; and Climate action – adaptation & mitigation.

NB: Participation in the above Agro-tourism activities requires payment of modest costs to enable the necessary preparations ahead of the interactions. Thus, for further information, contact: Mobile – +256773057488, +256702160386; +256787973987: Email: joszake@gmail.com
