FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, YOU CAN BOOK A FREE APPOINTMENT WITH LIAQUAT TO DISCUSS HOW HE COULD SUPPORT YOUR AGRICULTURAL AND GARDENING PROJECT

Liaquat has been consulting in the horticulture industry of Uganda for the last 7 years.

He was the lead agronomist for the largest macadamia grower in Uganda, AMAFH Farm Limited, also providing natural resource management education to the many smallholder macadamia and horticulture farmers across Uganda. This approach optimises the water holding capacity of soils, of importance during dry periods and necessary in the resilience of agricultural yields against the impacts of climate change. 

Liaquat currently consults for Avotein Farms, a large avocado farm, and the smallholder avacado farms who market through them, to manage the rhizosphere, minimal tillage, and reduce poison chemical application.

He also provides workshops voluntarily for smallholder farmers under Agri Aid Foundation and YES Global Initiative, to small holder farmers.

Liaquat has joined the Umoja Community Foundation eco-agriculture team to develop methods for improving the capacity of food production in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement.
