Why lawyers, farmers’ advocates, consumer groups, students, and journalists have joined forces to put clear warning labels on unhealthy food, and why CEFROHT is in the thick of it. Line up ten packaged snacks on a table. Biscuits, crisps, noodles, a juice or two. How many of them would you guess are too salty to

How a single day of dialogue with 70 policymakers and partners moved Uganda closer to clear warnings on foods high in salt, sugar, and fat, and why we will not let the momentum slip. Pick up a packet of biscuits, a soda or a bag of crisps in any Kampala supermarket and turn it over.

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. It was a fair one.

Why CEFROHT told East African lawmakers to rewrite the proposed EAC Seed Bill, or let it go. Ask a farmer in Koboko where her groundnut seed came from and you may get a long answer. From her mother. From a neighbor who swapped it for beans. From a variety the village has been quietly improving,

How a conversation that began on a Ugandan farm became a regional law in the making, and why the next twelve months will decide its future. Picture a room full of lawmakers from eight countries. Different languages, different economies, different politics. A motion is read. And every single hand goes up. That happened in Arusha,

Bees decide far more of what lands on your plate than you think. Here is why we are fighting for them. When did you last thank a bee? Probably never. Nobody does. A bee drifts across a garden, settles on a flower for a moment, and lifts off again. It is one of the most

Inside the four farms where Ugandan smallholders teach each other, and where regional lawmakers came to learn. For more than a thousand Ugandan smallholder farmers, the answer has no walls, no whiteboard, and no podium. It has compost heaps, beehives in the trees, a seed bank on a shelf, and a neighbor showing you how

At the World Social Forum in Benin, the global movement for agroecology met, argued, and planned. CEFROHT was in the room. What happens when thousands of farmers, activists, lawyers, faith leaders and young people from across the world descend on one West African city with a single stubborn belief? You get the World Social Forum.

Our Legal Aid Clinic has been registered again by the Law Council. For people who cannot afford a lawyer, that means a door that stays open. Imagine waking up to find a stranger fencing off the garden that feeds your children. He has papers. You have nothing but your word and a few thousand shillings.

On 8 May, we put lawyers, doctors, food scientists and students in one room in Kampala. The question on the table was a deadly one. If any lawyer walked in thinking this was just another morning of CLE points, they walked out thinking about their breakfast. That was the point. On 8 May 2026, CEFROHT

In Kyotera, a widow lost her land to a fraudster’s paperwork. We took her case to court, and this quarter it moved closer to judgment. She did not sell her land. She did not sign anything. One day it simply stopped being hers. This is the story of a widow in Kyotera District. While she

Why our legal officers spent time learning from Greenwatch about science, climate, and the art of suing in the public interest. Here is a confession most lawyers will not make in public: a judge can be persuaded by a beautiful argument and still rule against you, because the science was not on the page. When
