From Learning English, this is the Agriculture Report.
The Slow Food Movement is growing in most of the western world. The movement supports small local farms. It works against huge farms led by international food and agriculture companies. But the Slow Food Movement is not growing very fast in Africa. So a group called Slow Food International has named a Ugandan man to help grow it.
Edie Mukiibi will work to help people in Africa create gardens and grow healthy food. But he does not have the support of government officials. Many of them believe large agricultural companies are the answer to Africas food security problems.
10-year-old Solomon Walusimbi is working in his garden. It is next to a small wooden house in Mukono near Kampala. He is proud of his work.
This is my garden. I plant so many things, like peas, carrots and maize, Solomon said.
Solomon also grows cabbage, eggplants and a rare kind of leek. His garden is more colorful than others, because Solomon understands the importance of growing many different kinds of crops.
If you dig, this one will die and this one will continue growing, and you will continue eating and getting so many things, Solomon said.
Edie Mukiibi is working hard to teach that lesson to others in Uganda. Slow Food International wants him to help people create 10,000 gardens like Solomons throughout Africa. Many of these gardens will be in schools. Mr. Mukiibi says he hopes the garden will teach young people about the importance of slow food.
