ABOUT THE ECOLOGICAL ORGANIC AGRICULTURE INITIATIVE Ecological Organic Agriculture (EOA) is a ‘holistic’ system that sustains the health of ecosystems and relies on functional cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of synthetic inputs which have adverse effects on total health (human, animal, plant and environmental). Africa continues to face the biggest challenge of feeding its citizens and populations in a contaminated and quickly deteriorating biodiversity. With a rapidly growing population, worsening effects of climate change, effects of globalisation, rising food prices and the diminishing health of Africa’s biodiversity, EOA brings in dimensions of Agricultural practices that embrace sustainability, biodiversity, ecosystems while producing food for the populations. The EOA practices are well grounded and have global recognition. For example, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD, 2001) recognizes the importance of traditional knowledge in the conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity. UNEP also recognizes the vital role of bio-cultural diversity as necessary for sustainable development. Ecological agriculture fosters biodiversity and is in itself resilient to impacts of climate change (Ensor, 2009). It depends on and sustains ecosystems services as well as the knowledge, practices and innovation of local communities leading to more reliable and increased food security and incomes. Bio diverse agriculture works with nature, in contrast to conventional industrial agriculture which leads to reduced diversity (Li Ching, 2011). The growth and development of organic agriculture in Africa continues to be driven by the increasing demand from nutritionally and environmentally conscious consumers in developed countries. In Uganda, the organic subsector is mainly driven by the private sector and commercial export companies (IFOAM, 2005). Development of organic export market was earlier accelerated by support from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) under the Export Promotion of Organic Products from Africa (EPOPA) in 1994. A study by Gibbon and Bolwig (2007) concluded that farms engaged in certified organic export production are more profitable than those that are solely engaged in conventional production. However, much of the progress made in the subsector has been in the area of crop production with little or no integration with organic livestock production. The global demand for organic products has been growing at an average of 15 – 25% per annum over the last couple of years and continues to rise. Organic Monitor (2015) estimates that global organic food and drink sales reached US 72 billion dollars in 2013 (compared to nearly $60 Billion in 2010) and since 2002, the market has expanded by 170 percent. Demand for organic products is mainly
concentrated in North America and Europe, which together comprise 96% of sales. The production of organic foods in Asia, Latin America and Africa is largely exportdriven. Similarly, in many African countries, organic exports have been growing at an average of 30-50% per annum and the number of smallholders active in these markets has been increasing. Most interestingly, the domestic and regional demand for organic products is growing, thus stimulating further opportunities for smallholder organic farmers to engage in market oriented farming. Despite the availability of market for organic products in the European Union and beyond, organic farming still faces a number of challenges. This is attributed to several factors including minimal demand for organic products locally and regionally, limited government infrastructural support, high costs of third party certification, low levels of knowledge and poor information dissemination (UNEPUNCTAD, 2010). More challenges include; inadequate institutional capacity, insufficient coordination and networking among stakeholders, inadequate awareness and information on EOA practices, limited research that focuses on organic agriculture, poor linkages between industry and research institutions and the inadequate financial resources to execute EOA strategies. The absence of enabling national policies is identified as the biggest obstacle hindering African governments to develop sustainable, resilient, and productive farming systems. The EOA continental initiative (www.eoa-africa.org) holds a significant promise for increasing the productivity of Africa’s smallholder farmers, with consequent positive impacts on food security. The initiative has been implemented in Africa since 2012 and currently four (4) countries in Eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania) and four (4) in West Africa (Benin, Mali, Nigeria, and Senegal). The EOA Initiative is aligned to the AU-Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture (DREA) agenda, the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Plan (CAADP) Results framework, the Malabo declaration and Agenda 2063. In Uganda, the EOA initiative is being implemented by a consortium of stakeholder institutions, with NOGAMU as the Country Lead Organization (CLO) and other implementing partners being; Uganda Martyrs University, Makerere university and PELUM Uganda. The EOA directory is a product of the Networking and partnership pillar led by PELUM Uganda and in collaboration with NOGAMU. Other Networking and Partnership pillar committee members (Makerere University, Uganda Martyrs University, RUCID, St. Jude, Caritas MADDO, AFIRD and EADEN) have also actively participated in the development of the Directory. This directory profiles various stakeholders in the EOA sector in Uganda. It provides a strong basis for networking and further development of the sector.
