 AGRO-ECOLOGY in Practice

This is an ongoing program of education within Agroecology in collaboration between Mekelle University (MU) in Ethiopia, Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). The program is financed by SIDA and administrated by the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture (CUL) at SLU.

Goal & Aim

The mission of this education and training programme is to support poverty alleviation for households based on small-scale farming systems.

The general vision with the project is to establish an action-orientated, dynamic, creative and interdisciplinary education and training programme that interacts across farmers’ practices, development work, extension, education and research (the knowledge continuum), within the area of agroecology (as ‘Ecology of Food Systems’). This focus is chosen because one of the bottlenecks identified for the general mission is that the present formal agricultural education and training sector in East Africa is not well designed to deliver meaningful knowledge, skills and attitudes towards sustainable land-use practices and environmental management based on local resources.
