Brief information about Dr Jolly
Why I am involved in urban farming?
I, Dr. Jolly Kabirizi started working at Namulonge Research Institute as Scientific Officer/Pasture agronomy on 1st April 1975 after completing a BSc degree (Upper Second class degree) in Agriculture at Makerere University. I was among the best 4 students out of 108 students and the best female student. I obtained an MSc degree in agriculture in 1996. The title of the MSc Thesis is “Productivity and feeding value of Lablab purpureus cv Rongai for lactating dairy cows”. The study covered aspects of agronomy, nutrition and economic analysis. I am involved in urban farming because i want to;
“Walk the talk”—– Practice what I teach others.
Demonstrate that you do not need a big piece of land to do profitable farming.
Supplement family income.
Create employment for youth, men & women.
Contribute to Research .
