Hi there

This week I am working on mapping out the coffee bean processing pathways, together with the coffee team. I am looking forward on getting it done, so that I begin with drafting my questionnaire and field visitations. June/July I will spend much of my time in the field collecting data.

however working with IITA coffee team is startling, I am learning a lot from them.

Hello my beautiful readers

Today It was amazing at work, I was presenting  my research proposal to whole group of pundits  in the field of coffee production systems.  The presentation went well and people advised accordingly. however I look forward to collecting my data in the few coming weeks. I really cannot wait to go to the Ugandan coffee plantations, and interact with farmers.

Allow me to share with you the beauty of Kampala, this is where International Institute of Tropical Agriculture offices are based.

The projections show that from 2013 up to 2050 the suitable areas for growing coffee will be limited in Uganda, not so cool right,  especially because coffee is one the major export commodity in Uganda.

It is so amazing to see that some farmers are practicing intercropping, because not only environmental benefits this method has but also, economic benefits for the farmer, as it boots their cash flow.

Hello Readers

I thought I should share some of the pictures about my departure from Galway to Kampala (Uganda), I was so animated and looking forward to see Kampala , as well as to meet my IITA coffee team.

I am so excited, because I will be flying to Uganda tomorrow the 9th, I am looking forward to meeting the IITA team.

hello there
This week I continue with literature review for my project, I got feedback for my first literature review draft from my supervisors and I will attending to their comments and making amendments.

The experience of playing around the cool farm tool was amazing, many thanks to my host organisation for giving me a training on how to use the online tool.
