Hundreds of farmers across Uganda have transformed their livelihoods with YFO training and support. Here are their stories.
What Farmers Say
"Before YFO, I was spending over UGX 600,000 a month on poultry feed. Now I produce my own larvae, and that cost is down to UGX 180,000. The training was practical and easy to follow — I was up and running in 3 weeks."
"I had zero farming experience. Eight months after completing YFO's training, I'm running a BSF operation from my compound in Mukono. I now earn over UGX 2 million per month selling larvae to fish farms nearby."
"The waste management consultation opened my eyes. Our market generates so much organic waste — it was literally a problem. Now we supply that waste to our BSF unit and sell the frass back as fertilizer. Double income."
"I attended a free seminar not knowing what to expect. Three months later I had my first harvest and my fish were visibly healthier and growing faster. The YFO team answered every question I had, even after training."
"The BSF Setup Guide saved me from making expensive mistakes. I set up my cage correctly from day one, chose the right waste inputs, and my first colony survived 100%. Worth every shilling — I recommend it to every new farmer."
"YFO connected me directly with two poultry farms who buy my larvae every week. I don't worry about finding buyers anymore. The business consultation was the best investment I made — I have a real financial model now."
"As a school administrator, I was looking for a way to reduce our food waste and create an income stream. YFO designed a system that fits perfectly within our compound. Students even learn from it as part of our agriculture program."
"I was skeptical at first — I thought insects as feed sounded strange. But after seeing the cost savings and how much healthier my chickens looked, I expanded from 50 birds to 200 birds within a year. The income followed."
"The online course was in plain language — no jargon. I studied it on my phone during evenings and had my BSF cage built over a weekend. My husband thought I was wasting money. Now he helps run the operation with me!"
