From Research to Farmer’s Doorsteps
In collaboration with NARO-Uganda’s leading authority in agricultural research and development – we’re taking knowledge out of the labs and into rural communities.
Innovation shouldn’t be out of reach – it should arrive right where small farmers live, work, and grow. At COFIA’s Annual Grassroots Agricultural Exposition, we bring knowledge, skills, and technology straight to the communities that need it most.
Now in its fourth year, the COFIA Annual Grassroots Exposition continues to redefine what access looks like for rural farmers.
