Guest lectures for FTA students concentrated on sustainable and inclusive value chains

Over the past two weeks, the Faculty of Tropical Agrisciences hosted a series of engaging guest lectures featuring esteemed scholars from Kenya and Uganda, alongside faculty members from our institution. These presentations provided students from various fields with valuable insights into the diverse approaches to agricultural value chains across Africa. Topics ranged from Martin Mutambuka’s exploration of indigenous vegetable value chains in Uganda to Elisha Otieno’s focus on value addition in agricultural sectors. The lectures not only broadened students’ understanding but also fostered important discussions on sustainability and ethical practices in agriculture.
