Embrace Effective Farming Practices – CFU

Conservation Farming Unit (CFU) has encouraged farmers to embrace effective agricultural practices to ensure a successful recovery year.

Speaking during a meeting with farmers in Serenje, Organization Project Coordinator Dr. Oliver Bulaya, stated that it is important for farmers across the country to adopt conservation tillage systems.

Dr. Bulaya emphasized the importance of shifting away from conventional farming methods, which have historically led to significant losses.

“Now is the time for farmers to learn from past mistakes and focus on sustainable practices that enhance productivity and resilience,” Dr. Bulaya said.

He highlighted Government’s commitment to supporting farmers through the provision of mechanization implements via farmer training centres.

“These resources are designed to improve service delivery and facilitate the adoption of advanced agricultural techniques,” he added.

Dr. Bulaya further encouraged all farmer coordinators and farmers to take full advantage of these implements, particularly the tractor-drawn rippers, which are essential for preparing land effectively.

“It is disheartening to see that despite the challenges posed by conventional tillage, a significant number of farmers continue to rely on conventional farming. We must change this narrative,” Dr. Bulaya emphasized.

He further called on all stakeholders to unite in the pursuit of sustainable farming practices that not only enhance productivity but also protect our environment for future generations.
