Kilimo Trust (KT) is an independent Regional agricultural development organization - working on agriculture for development across the EAC Region. It is registered in the Republic of Uganda, and it implements projects across all EAC Partner States. The core business of KT is to support the transformation of food and nutrition security in the EAC Region away from high-risk subsistence farming into lower risk trade-based systems.
With a grant from IKEA Foundation, Kilimo Trust is implementing a 5-year project titled Reduce-Reuse-Recycle Rice Initiative for Climate Smart Agriculture (R4iCSA). This project focuses on improved incomes and food security for 10,000 rice farming households and other value chain actors in Kenya and Uganda. The project is being implemented in Eastern Uganda in Kween, Tororo and Butaleja districts.
The assignment is to train farmers on Sustainable Rice Production Practices (SRPs), with a specific focus on biochar application and rice-legume integration (RLI), under the Reduce–Reuse–Recycle Rice Initiative for Climate Smart Agriculture (R4iCSA) Project. This intervention will be implemented across Butaleja, Tororo, and Kween districts in Eastern Uganda.
The objective is to stimulate increased farmer adoption of biochar and RLI, thereby contributing directly to the project’s key targets. These include converting more rice husks into biochar for use as a soil amendment, promoting the integration of legumes into rice production systems to improve soil fertility and farm resilience, and scaling the accessibility and use of biochar among farmers in the targeted implementation areas. Through structured training, field demonstrations, and active farmer engagement, the assignment will support sustainable productivity improvements while advancing climate-smart and circular agricultural practices.
