Inside the IGRAO farm hub in Kyebitaka Block 04, multi-tier agriculture combines tree nurseries, Matooke banana blocks, and aquaculture into a unified model site demonstrating how small land allocations in refugee settlements can achieve maximum crop productivity.
An Integrated Farm Ecosystem
Nutrient-rich pond water from fish harvesting is used to irrigate nearby banana crops, while shade trees raised in the nursery protect young crops from intense heat. This integrated approach minimizes external fertilizer costs while building long-term soil health.
By connecting sustainable agronomy with practical skills training, the farm hub serves as an active demonstration center for refugee families and host community neighbors striving for food security and income generation.
