Since 2008, PELUM Uganda embarked on a campaign to restore the utilization and conservation of indigenous and traditional foods among communities in Uganda. Several activities have been undertaken to this effect including national and regional food fairs, documentation of indigenous and traditional foods in Uganda as well as implementing projects to revamp indigenous and traditional foods and seeds.
The 11th Annual Indigenous and traditional food fair focused on the theme; “Building back better:strengthening community resilience to COVID 19 through indigenous foods and agrobiodiversity management’. The overall objective was to showcase the contribution of indigenous foods and plants toward strengthening community Resilience to COVID 19 and generate strategies for promoting sustainable agro-biodiversity management in the food system. Like the NAAS, the Indigenous Food fair was attended virtually by a wide range of stakeholders.
