Discovering insights that shape sustainable agriculture.

Youth & Agriculture in Uganda

  • 77% of Uganda’s population is under 30 years, but only 12% of youth are engaged in agriculture as a career. (Source: Uganda Bureau of Statistics, 2022)
  • Youth unemployment in Uganda is estimated at 13.3%, with agriculture seen as “unattractive” due to outdated practices and lack of innovation. (World Bank, 2021)

Mental Health & Nature Healing

  • A 2019 study by University of Essex found that just 2 hours a week in nature improves mental and emotional well-being significantly.
  • People who engage in gardening report a 25% reduction in stress and anxiety levels. (Journal of Health Psychology, 2020)

Why Regenerative Agriculture Matters

  • Regenerative farming improves soil health and increases biodiversity by 30–40%, making land more climate-resilient. (FAO, 2021)
  • Farms using wellness-centered practices show 15–20% higher retention of young farmers, especially when mental health programs are integrated. (IFAD/UN Report, 2020)
