Uganda turns 64 tomorrow 🇺🇬 But are we independent on our own plates?
❓ Not when food labels hide the sugar, salt, and fat
❓ Not when pesticides banned in Europe are exported to our farms
❓ Not when trans fats still go unregulated while heart disease takes about 27,000 Ugandan lives a year
Our newsletter shows the road to real food independence:
🍽️ Uganda launched its Nutrient Profile Model
🏛️ 200 new MPs got a crash course on the right to food
✍️ Our warning label petition reached Busoga and Bunyoro
🫀 We’re pushing for Uganda’s first trans fat law by the end of 2026
🌱 8 EAC states voted unanimously to introduce the Agroecology Bill
Read it and tell us: what does food independence mean to you? 👇
