Butiru Agribusiness Enterprise aims to promote hydroponic farming practices in Uganda through training and demonstration. Their vision is to improve livelihoods and sustainable food systems. They plan to establish hydroponic farms, provide training, and produce wheat grass juice. Issues like climate change, population growth, and limited land are increasing food insecurity. Their hydroponic solutions address lack of space and soil-borne issues. They request $50,000 funding to establish a demonstration center for hydroponic training and products. They expect to generate over $1 million return for investors within 4 years by expanding access to hydroponic farming across Uganda.
