In the heart of Uganda’s Soroti district, a quiet transformation is reshaping the future of farming.
When the Land Speaks Back tells the story of two smallholder farmers: Alfred and Betty —who through the ChaChaWaWa initiative and the Sowing Diversity = Harvesting Security (SD=HS) program, now continuing under the Cultivating Change program— are turning soil, seeds, and traditional wisdom into tools of resilience.
From abandoned education to seed multiplication, and from chemical dependency to organic innovation, their journeys reveal what happens when communities reclaim the power of agroecology.
This is not just a story of survival in the face of climate change, it’s a movement, led by farmers, nurtured by local knowledge, and grounded in dignity.
