Background Food insecurity remains a fundamental problem in Eastern Uganda, causing micronutrient deficiency and chronic undernutrition, which overall account for over 60% of deaths in children under 5 in the region (USAID).
The Permagarden4all initiative is a 12-month project funded by the ISA Foundation. The project will seek to improve maternal and child health, and food security in 750 impoverished households in Kamuli District. The permagarden4all is a climate smart strategy that combines permaculture; an agricultural approach using design principles to utilize natural systems for production, and bio-intensive agriculture; an approach to maximize production on a small amount of land through sustainable practices, to create highly productive gardens.
