Proposal for Very Edible Gardens Uganda.
Very
Edible Gardens Uganda-V.E.G.U is a “Permaculture” project in Gulu district
found in Northern Uganda. It is yet at the grass root, being made up of three
members of whom Mr.Nyeromeister Christopher who is the Permaculture Field
Engineer and Mr.Mugarura Charles who is the Permaculture Field Designer are both
done with the Permaculture Designing Course (PDC) taught by Mrs. Rosemary Morrow. Linked at http://childrenofuganda-permaculture.blogspot.com with Mrs. Rosemary Morrow at
Sabina School in the Rakai district of Uganda in January 2010. This course was also
attended by land managers, agriculturists, and government workers from Uganda,
Tanzania, Kenya, Canada, Australia and the UK. Mrs. Morrow is also a renowned
permaculture teacher, author and designer and has been working in the
permaculture field for over 40 years. She is the author of the book Earth Users Guide to Permaculture. More
information about Mrs. Morrow can be found here:

And Mr.Agaba Julius who is the Permaculture Herbal
Specialist who is doing Bachelor in Pharmacy at the University, and hopefully
he is to undergo his PDC too!!
First and
for most, Permaculture is the art and science of producing edible landscapes
that mirrors the natural ecosystems in their diversity and production.
-By aiming at introducing food
growing techniques to local people, VEGU believe that through Permaculture
ethics; care for people, care for earth and share the surplus, we will be caring
for more than 1000 people in Uganda and worldwide.
-We acquired interest in promoting
environmental conservation and its Ecosystem. This is so because during the
internship at Sabina Permaculture Project, we realized that it required us to
look at our future lives and lifestyle from a different perspective.
-At Sabina Permaculture Project, we
discovered new ways on how Humans can create a no chemical-sustainable
environment to live in which reduces the use of Fuel, Chemicals instead Enhances
natural eco-system which to us was like strategies to people to adapt the
challenging future; global warming, climate change and peak oil.
-And lastly, VEGU is aiming at solving
poverty in the communities; firstly through food security and in advance, teaching
local people Income Generating Activities of different ways so as they can earn
a living hence improving life.
So to Very Edible Gardens Uganda, Permaculture
seemed to be a life-long journey of change and growth and here we want to
demonstrate it.
Activities Includes;
-Crop
Growing
-Orchard
system
-Animal Keeping
-Poultry keeping
-Aquaculture and aquaponics
-Apiary

-We
also design and implement sustainable system for projects, schools, homes….etc
