I woke up one morning and started thinking of urban farming like any other dream come true.
This dream kept on running in my head until one day when I started using every space of my compound including verandas to do some bit of gardening that later turned into modern urban farming, said Mr Mugisha also CEO JERO demonstration farm at Kisubi along Entebbe road.
Out of a challenge an opportunity was born through growing own Fresh food using Agroecology principles, revealed file report.
JERO Farm was founded in 2021 by Gerald Mugisha and wife Anne Arihomugisha with a dream of serving the local community and owning a modern demonstration farm.
And four years down the road, JERO farm has grown from humble back ground to serving the local community including supporting government programs and projects.
The uprising farmers have heavily invested into modern farming practices and technologies including fish farming, poultry, and green house farming to nursery beds for educational purposes to commercialization & serving the local communities.
Lots of questions can been asked about the promising farmers that have turned small space farming into seeds of Gold and passionate about promoting urban farming & developing demonstration farms across the country, despite being capital intensive.
We focus on improving diets in urban areas by designing and teaching others how to set up simple, organic and smart backyard gardens, noted Mugisha.
We are an urban farm where different farming systems are employed to maximize output on a smaller space of land, he added.
