The Young Farmers’ Federation of Uganda have launched a Farmers organization Video Library intended to give audio visual training to farmers using different mechanisms elsewhere and creating digital space in farming to inspire youth engage in agriculture.
Speaking during the flagging off younger farmers to Germany the CEO of Young Farmers Denis Kabiito, noted that this library will enable young farmers to acquire knowledge needed in agribusiness.
He said documenting videos, young farmers can easily learn from such videos documented in different languages in the country.
Under the international exchange Program with German, the UNYFA secretariat has flagged six youth to German for a period of one and half months to stay on German farms where they will acquire skills and best practices in agriculture' says Kabiito.
According to Denis, for this period these young farmers are staying on different German farms where they will experience and share expertise in agribusiness and in the same way Germans will also be coming to Uganda to benchmark from different farms in Uganda. The international young farmers exchange program aimed at facilitating education, training and networking of young farmers.
Similarly the Younger Farmers Federation of Uganda launched the farm succession manual aimed at mitigating land fragmentation in the country.
Farm succession manuals will awaken Ugandans and parents to bring the children on board to understand what they are undertaking in agriculture.
Kabiito notes younger farmers should be supported to make sure that this manual is used to inspire the young people on how they could get involved in agriculture.
