How it all started

By Sean Patrick

I spent 8 years in development work, specifically rural livelihood and agriculture development. I was tired of doing top-down development that tries to be bottom-up. My experience with conventional development projects is that they simply don’t work. They don’t last beyond the funding period and that’s why it is not a sustainable way of development.

Everybody I know in Uganda has a farm. You grow your own food. As a child growing up in a banana farming family, eating natural and healthy food was a given. My appreciation for good food is intrinsic, it’s how I feel food is supposed to be.
