Last year, the Network for Active Citizens in partnership with Dreamtown, a non-governmental organisation, taught youth, who came to be known as community journalists, about the importance of urban farming in mitigating some of the effects of climate change.

Armed with the knowledge I had received in the training, I approached Nambupi Flavia, to preach to the 18-year-old Senior Three student at Mukono High School about the benefits of urban farming. At the time, I did not have much hope in the impact of the words I was sowing in Nambupi.
