The core of it all - Modular Farming
Our greenhouses are just the beginning of our extensive modular farming system. This holistic approach combines different areas of agriculture and fisheries with fodder production, with each module serving as both a production and supply unit for the others. Our well-trained staff from various disciplines ensures the highest quality and continuous product availability, benefiting not only the local environment but also surrounding small farmers through the supply of fodder and seedlings, job opportunities, and the chance to become suppliers or processors. We call this interconnected system our Florasystem, an ecosystem of production steps that support and enhance each other. Experience the benefits of sustainable agriculture with our Florasystem today.
Agriculture & Horticulture
At our farm, we prioritize high-quality production of vegetables and seeds, both in greenhouses and outdoors. Our farming operation and training concept are centered around this core value, ensuring that every product we offer meets our rigorous standards.
Fingerlings
Our functional fingerling production is the key to providing fish farmers in Uganda with the resources they need to maintain a thriving fish production. With our fingerling production, we're able to provide high-quality fish stock that can help support sustainable fish farming practices.
Fisheries
Fish is a sustainable and healthy food that's essential to our future production. When prepared correctly, it offers a wealth of nutritional benefits and is an excellent choice for those seeking a healthy and sustainable protein source.
Lifestock
At our farms, we believe in the power of circulation and ecological circular economies. By incorporating livestock, such as goats and chickens, we're able to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that maximizes efficiency and minimizes waste. Our animals are fed with fodder from our own farms, and their manure is used to fertilize our soil, creating a closed-loop system that benefits both the environment and our products.
Feed Production
In order to create a sustainable and self-sufficient farming ecosystem, we need to provide feed for both our own animals and Ugandan farmers. By prioritizing high-quality and nutritious feed, we're able to support healthy livestock and fish production, while also promoting sustainable and responsible farming practices.
Fly Hatcheries
Our protein-rich fly larvae are the perfect addition to any sustainable farming operation. With their ability to dispose of large quantities of organic waste, they help promote a circular and efficient farming cycle that benefits both the environment and our products. Whether you're looking to feed your fish or chickens, our fly larvae are an excellent source of high-quality protein that can help support healthy and sustainable farming practices.
Waste Disposal
At our farms, we prioritize responsible and sustainable farming practices. This means cleaning up after ourselves and making sure that organic waste from agriculture and gastronomy doesn't go to waste. By collecting and repurposing unused nutrients back into the farming cycle, we're able to maximize efficiency and minimize waste, creating a closed-loop system that benefits both the environment and our products.
Education
At our farms, we believe that education and training are key to building a sustainable future for agriculture in Uganda. By teaching young farmers about responsible and sustainable farming practices, we're able to ensure that knowledge and expertise are passed down through the generations, creating a strong and vibrant agricultural community. From greenhouse cultivation to livestock production and beyond, our training programs cover a wide range of topics designed to equip young farmers with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Community
At our farms, we understand that successful farming relies on strong relationships with local communities. That's why we're committed to working closely with our neighbors to create sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships. From providing job opportunities to supporting local businesses, our operations have a positive impact on the surrounding community. We're proud to be a part of this vibrant and dynamic community, and we're dedicated to ensuring that our work benefits everyone involved
How we started:
In 2019, we visited Bukalasa Agriculture College and explored the existing greenhouses used for growing tomatoes. We drew inspiration from Europe’s use of greenhouses to cultivate vegetables in a controlled environment and aimed to merge this with Uganda’s favorable climate. Our vision was to produce top-quality vegetables in protected greenhouses while educating young students on greenhouse management for sustainability.
After careful planning, we founded Floras Best Greenhouses Ltd. in June 2020, in collaboration with Bukalasa Agriculture College. We utilized their land to construct one small nursery greenhouse (8 x 30 m) and two larger cultivation greenhouses (16 x 40 m) for sweet pepper. We also created an outdoor nursery bed for onions and a field for outdoor cultivation.
Today, we have expanded our product range and built more greenhouses. Our trained staff and students operate the greenhouses and acquire practical skills on-site. Check out our current product offerings or consider our training programs to learn more.
