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 Africas 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 andincomes. 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 ofOrganic 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 export-

driven. 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 opportunitiesfor 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 (UNEP-

UNCTAD, 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 Africas smallholder farmers, with consequentpositive 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 otherimplementing 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 variousstakeholders in the EOA sector in Uganda. It provides a strong basis for networking

and further development of the sector.
