In a bid to empower local farmers amidst the challenges posed by climate change, Mr. Ojok Francis, the Production Officer of Amolatar, has urged farmers in the Lango sub-region to attend the ongoing exhibition, which commenced on Wednesday, October 29th, and will run until November 1st, 2025.

Mr. Ojok emphasized the importance of this exhibition as a platform for farmers to gain insights into various agricultural advancements and resilient farming practices.

With the increasing impacts of climate change affecting crop yields and livestock productivity, it is crucial for farmers to stay informed about the latest developments in agricultural technology and sustainable practices.

During the exhibition, farmers will have the opportunity to explore a range of stall displays featuring diverse crop varieties, animal breeds, and poultry that demonstrate specific resilience to climate changes prevalent in Uganda.

This event aims to equip farmers with the knowledge they need to adapt their farming strategies, ensuring food security and sustainability in the face of an unpredictable climate.

Mr. Ojok encouraged all farmers within the region to seize this opportunity to learn from experts, network with fellow farmers, and access resources that could help them implement effective solutions tailored to their farming needs.

 He highlighted that attending such exhibitions is not just about viewing products, but also about gathering vital information and support that can lead to increased productivity and profitability.

As the exhibition continues, it promises to be an essential event for the agricultural community in the Lango sub-region, fostering innovation and resilience among farmers facing the realities of climate change.

In the fertile landscapes of Amolatar, Mr. Okucu, a respected farmer and model agriculturalist, has taken a proactive stance in encouraging fellow farmers to attend an upcoming agriculture exhibition.

He believes that this event is crucial for farmers seeking to adapt to climate change by exploring various crop, animal, and poultry varieties that are better suited to our changing environment.

Hellen Acen, a dedicated farmer from Agikdak sub-county known for her innovative irrigation practices, echoed Mr. Okucu’s sentiments. She asserts that the agriculture exhibition presents a valuable opportunity for farmers in the Lango sub-region.

It promises access to vital information on climate change mitigation techniques, which are increasingly necessary as traditional farming methods face unprecedented challenges.

Acen pointed out that many crops are no longer yielding as they once did due to the impacts of climate change.

This stark reality underscores the need for farmers to seek out new, resilient crop varieties that can thrive under local climatic conditions.

By attending the exhibition, farmers will gain insights into these alternatives, helping them make informed choices that enhance their productivity and sustainability.

Samuel Odit, a goat rearing enthusiast, also weighed in on the significance of the exhibition. He expressed gratitude towards its organizers, highlighting that the benefits of various livestock breeds are not universally available to all farmers.

His encouragement for others to attend is rooted in the potential for knowledge sharing and networking, which can empower farmers to adopt best practices in animal husbandry.

In summary, the voices of farmers like Mr. Okucu, Hellen Acen, and Samuel Odit serve as a reminder of the critical role that agriculture exhibitions play in the fight against climate change.

These events not only provide essential knowledge but also foster a community of resilience among farmers striving to adapt their practices to ensure food security and sustainable livelihoods in face of changing climates.
