Kulika Training Centre \u00b7 since 2007<\/p>

A living classroom for organic farming<\/h1>

A self-financing organic farm where farmers see ecological methods tested next to traditional ones, and then take them home.<\/p>

A permanent home for training, research and farm enterprises<\/h2>

For ten years, Kulika trained farmers in Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia on borrowed premises. Each time the training moved on, its demonstration gardens were left behind.<\/p>

The Centre opened in April 2007 as a self-financing unit that grows and sells organically produced marketable crops.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Residential blocks at the Centre alternate with practice on the farmer\u2019s own land. On-station trials test organic pest control, soil fertility and new crop varieties; the Kulika Organic Pesticide was validated on nine demonstration sites and certified by UgoCert. Interns from Makerere and other universities train here each year.<\/p><\/details>
