St. Kizito High School in Namugongo, Uganda, integrated solar-powered hydroponics with food preservation and processing in its Green Innovations Park curriculum. Students grew leafy greens in soil-free, nutrient-rich systems powered by solar energy. They learned to reduce waste, preserve produce, and add value. The program combined practical sustainability skills, renewable energy use, and basic agribusiness training to prepare students for climate-resilient food production, entrepreneurship, and careers in Uganda’s agricultural sector.
