Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 27803, member: 2262"] The National Agricultural Research Organisation showcased farm tools and special crops at a big women's day celebration in Kyankwanzi District on March 8, 2025. They set up their displays at Bukwiri Primary School, where the theme focused on making gender equality happen faster. NARO brought items that help women farmers work less hard, grow more food, and make more money from farming. NARO displayed many helpful things for women who farm. They brought machines that make farm work easier, crops with extra nutrients, new products made from coffee and cocoa, and ways to keep farm animals healthy. These tools match what the government wants - to give women better ways to farm and earn more money for their families. Mr. Kenneth Katungisa, who leads the NARO Governing Council, attended the event with research directors and other important staff. Several research groups, including experts who study livestock, crops, coffee, and other farm products, took part. These groups came from research centers across the country to share their best ideas with women farmers. People really liked seeing the special corn and sweet potatoes that NARO has created. These crops have extra vitamins that help stop hunger problems for moms and kids. NARO also showed how women can make special products from coffee and cocoa beans instead of just selling the raw crops, which helps them earn extra cash. Many women gathered to learn new ways to care for cows, goats, and chickens. NARO experts explained how to fight animal sickness and make cheap food for farm animals. Since planting season was approaching, NARO also gave advice about which crops to plant, how to fight bugs and plant diseases, and farming methods that work even when the weather is strange. Mr. Katungisa talked to reporters about how NARO creates farm ideas with women in mind. He said that when women farmers succeed, families eat better, have more money, and whole villages do better. The tools shown at the event were specially made to help women farm smarter and make more profit from their hard work. Women who came to learn new farming tricks said they really appreciated what NARO showed them. Many talked about how much they liked the machines that make farm work less backbreaking and the ways to turn raw crops into valuable products that sell for higher prices. Professor Samuel Majalija, who runs livestock research at NARO, repeated that his organization wants to keep creating new farm ideas that give women power. He emphasized that NARO aims to make sure women can access all the tools, know-how, and supplies they need to become successful farmers and business owners in their communities. [/QUOTE]
