Expanding Organic Gardening Through Communities<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1000WG staff have observed that as many or more \u2018adopter gardeners\u2019 are practicing some form of organic vegetable gardening as well, having learned the methods from their relatives and neighbors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

The goal is that by the end of 2027, at least 40% of households in the 66 villages where 1000WG works will be practicing organic gardening, together making a large and sustained improvement in the food security, nutrition and health for these communities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In 2026 and 2027, 1,000 Women\u2019s Gardens is beginning a new phase to develop value-added products from vegetables grown widely by participating women, including eggplant, African eggplant, amaranth (dodo) and other leafy vegetables. Cabbage and tomato will be included in a second phase.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

By processing surplus vegetables, the program aims to create employment and income opportunities while reducing the risk of market saturation and low prices for perishable fresh produce. Solar drying will be the initial technology, with technical and marketing support from the Community Women Enterprise Network Uganda<\/em> (CWEN).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

MGVs receive regular training in priority topics, such as formulation of botanical pesticides, organic composting, value addition and marketing strategies. They then pass on the knowledge and techniques to the greater community. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

All 1000 WG participants have home or kitchen gardens and 70% harvest surplus vegetables for sale several months of the year. In addition, all 44 Community Gardens generate income from vegetable sales. A typical group of 6-10 members either rent a plot of land or one member offers land on her farm for group gardening. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Women typically spend income from garden sales on food, health expenses, school fees, garden inputs, and personal needs. Community Gardens in two urban sub-counties allow landless women to participate in vegetable gardening. Community Gardens offer the added benefit of socialization and reduced isolation, especially among young mothers, where women learn, share and overcome challenges together. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
