There is a need for generation of new knowledge and skills to reinforce organic agriculture
capacity to answer a variety of lingering questions about production, product quality,
marketing, social economic implications on livelihoods and sustainable development through
research. Generated knowledge is also needed to inform development and institutionalization
of national policies on organic agriculture. Support to universities in collaboration with the
private sector to popularize and commercialize organic agriculture through curriculum review
and regional harmonization will help to produce a critical mass of competent graduates to
promote organic agriculture. At Makerere University we believe great success in the subsector
will only come from great support.
