Empowering Sustainability, One Innovation at a Time.

In a world grappling with food insecurity and environmental challenges, Vertical and Micro Gardening (VMG) shines as a pioneer of aspiration. This Ugandan urban farming enterprise has been making waves with its innovative approach to agriculture. By designing, manufacturing, and distributing Vertical Farms, VMG is empowering vulnerable communities, promoting sustainability, and addressing pressing issues such as malnutrition and poor waste management. Let's delve into the remarkable journey of VMG and the positive impact they are making in Uganda.


From Grants to Growth:

Back in December 2022, Paul, the driving force behind VMG, received a $1,000 grant from 1000 Gretas, propelling his vision forward. Since then, VMG has accomplished remarkable milestones and brought about transformative changes in a short span of time.


Waste Management and Vermi-Composting:

VMG's commitment to sustainability extends beyond farming methods. They have set up three waste and worm cast collection points, enabling Vertical Farm owners to contribute to a circular economy. By collecting castings and utilizing a vermi-composting chamber, VMG turns organic waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer. This not only minimizes the need for chemical pesticides but also reduces the burden on landfills and promotes a greener approach to waste management.


Innovative Blends of Worm-Cast Fertilizers:

To maximize the benefits of vermi-composting, VMG has created two blends of worm-cast fertilizers: Gimusa Worm Cast Powder and Gimusa Worm Cast Tea. These organic fertilizers provide a sustainable alternative to synthetic options, enhancing soil health and crop yields. By promoting the use of these natural fertilizers, VMG is revolutionizing farming practices and encouraging a shift towards environmentally friendly and nutritious food production.


Adapting to Climate Change-New Vertical Farm Construction Shapes:

Recognizing the impact of climate change on farming, VMG has developed new Vertical Farm construction shapes. These designs cater specifically to low-income communities, enabling them to farm effectively despite the changing climate. By providing affordable and adaptable farming solutions, VMG is not only combating high malnutrition rates among refugees in the region but also empowering marginalized communities to become self-sufficient and resilient.


Educating and Empowering: Waste Management in Schools:

In an effort to tackle Uganda's poor urban waste management, VMG is embarking on a mission to educate and empower the youth. They have scheduled initiatives to promote waste management and vermi-composting in over 2,000 schools, directly impacting at least 2,750 students. By providing education and distributing materials, VMG is addressing the root causes of environmental and human health problems in Uganda's capital city of Kampala. This holistic approach aims to create a sustainable and greener future for generations to come.


Overall, Vertical and Micro Gardening (VMG) is transforming communities and revolutionizing urban farming in Uganda. Through their innovative Vertical Farms, VMG is providing food and financial security to vulnerable populations while minimizing the use of pesticides and promoting sustainable waste management practices. Paul's inspiring journey, fueled by the grant from 1000 Gretas, has led to remarkable accomplishments in a short period. From setting up waste and worm cast collection points to developing innovative blends of organic fertilizers, VMG is at the forefront of sustainable agriculture. As they expand their reach to schools, VMG is educating and empowering the youth to tackle waste management issues, creating a greener future for Uganda. With their dedication and innovation, VMG is a shining example of how urban farming can be a catalyst for positive change in communities, fostering resilience, and promoting sustainable development.
