Ebonyu Transformation Farm Enterprise
We are a progressive agroecology farm, which was set up in July 2018. Located in Kalaki District, Eastern Uganda, we work towards applying organic integrated farming methods including soil fertility conservation, mixed water harvesting techniques, local tree protection, seed saving methods, and developing a variety of local knowledges including insight to ecosystems and biodiversity.
“To closely apply workable agroecology to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals SDGs. It adopts the approach of enabling effective prospects for diverse rural and agrarian livelihoods as part of a long-term sustainable process.”
Started following the establishment of Ebonyu
Transformation Farm Enterprises (ETFE), a progressive farm set-up in July 2018 based in
Kalaki, Kaberamaido, Eastern Uganda. The farming initiative drives itself based on the
principles of agroecology1 applying traditional, modern and sustainable methods to deliver local
employment, valid livelihoods2 and contribute to food security.3
In fitting neatly with agroecology
Agroecology brings together scientific thinking and indigenous knowledge as well as up-to-date management systems to enhance food security, biodiversity, resource conservation and livelihoods.
In our farming practice, we work purposely with local skills and knowledge
Restoring local knowledge and experience in food self-provisioning
