World science café @Coupure - Roots of resilience: reintroducing Asystasia gangetica ssp. micrantha to our communities

Join us for an inspiring event that delves into the reintroduction of Asystasia gangetica ssp. micrantha to communities in Uganda and beyond. This remarkable forgotten wild plant represents more than just a source of nourishment—it embodies cultural heritage and holds promise as a key player in food security. 

The event will underscore the vital role of collaboration, demonstrating how science and community come together to enhance food security. Experience a powerful documentary featuring local Lango and Acholi Ugandan women who are leading the way in preserving their dry-season food traditions through storytelling. If you are not yet convinced to attend our World Science Café, come and have a taste of this forgotten Ugandan vegetable!
