In the heart of Teso, Uganda, a quiet revolution is taking place. A proactive and determined group is committed to transforming their communities through permaculture. How and when did these community leaders get involved in permaculture? The story dates back to when S39 Permaculture Academy, led by renowned permaculture teacher Steve Jones, delivered Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) training to 171 people in Uganda between 2016 and 2019. This training sparked a transformative movement, resulting in the formation of three permaculture hubs led by those newly introduced to permaculture.
One of these hubs is the Eastern Ugandan Permaculture Organisation (EUPO) in the Teso sub-region.
