As urbanization progresses, accessing nutritious and healthy foods has become challenging for households and communities due to the complex nature of food systems and poverty. The Urban Food Hives Initiative (UFH) in Uganda aims to build resilient, nutritious, equitable, and regenerative food systems in Kampala, with a focus on the voices and leadership of women and youth. Currently, most small-scale, informal actors in Ugandan food systems, including farmers, informal vendors and distributors, do not receive fair economic returns.
The document for training of trainers on agroforestry focuses on curriculum preparation in Indonesia, and specifically on increasing the income of family farmers from their kebun (housegarden or pekarangan). It offers a ToT roadmap, and its curriculum should be seen as a living document with a foreseen training time of 4 months.The document is structured on five closely interrelated core training themes: agroforestry nurseries and planting; kebun management and improvement; training facilitation and networking; field school management and agroecosystems and watershed management.
The FFS method is explained in detail and group exercises are included for facilitators, which are illustrated with pictures showing the context of Central and South America. Emphasis is placed on participatory diagnosis of production axes, including matching legumes and stones as material, ballot box, spider web group diagnosis on the advantages and disadvantages, to analyse the importance and problems of the selected crops and the economic aspects of the crop enterprise. The AESA covers aspects of insects on farms and includes comparative observations of crops for biological control.
