Uganda Launches SAFE Project to Boost Sustainable Coffee Farming

The Minister for Agriculture, Frank Tumwebaze, has announced the launch of the Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystems Uganda (SAFE) Project, an initiative aimed at promoting sustainable coffee farming while protecting Uganda’s forests.

“We are thrilled to launch the SAFE Project, which will empower coffee farmers with the knowledge and skills to farm sustainably, protect our forests, and comply with EU regulations,” said Minister Tumwebaze.

Funded by GIZ, the European Union, and the Netherlands, the project seeks to combat deforestation and environmental degradation in Uganda’s coffee-producing regions.

By providing training and support, the SAFE Project aims to promote sustainable agricultural practices, improve coffee quality, and enhance farmers’ livelihoods.
