Bringing the Law to the Feast: CEFROHT’s Fight for the Right to Food at Terra Madre 2026
What a Ugandan team of lawyers and food rights advocates carried into the world’s biggest gathering of the Slow Food movement, and what we carried home. “So what exactly does a legal organization do at a food festival?” We heard some version of that question more than once in Turin.

“He Who Controls Seed, Controls You”: Why We Are Asking EALA to Rewrite the EAC Seed Bill

Eight Nations, One Raised Hand: East Africa’s Agroecology Bill Takes Its First Big Step

CEFROHT came to our village and taught us how to grow food without chemicals. We now use local seeds, cow dung, and urine to grow healthy crops. Our soil is better, and our food is safe. We even sell some and earn money. Life is changing, and we are very grateful.

At CEFROHT, we know that safe food is a shared responsibility. Through strategic partnerships and grant-funded initiatives, we work hand-in-hand with stakeholders to strengthen food safety systems, advocate for policy reform, and protect consumer health.
