BEU - Broadfield Enterprises Permaculture Group
Broadfield Enterprises Uganda (BEU) is implementing the 2nd Phase of the permEzone program, working with farmers in Sanje Village, in the Central Region of Uganda.
BEU was founded in 2012, and incorporated as a Social Enterprise in 2016. It is focused on the creation, implementation, and use of innovative climate change adaptation strategies using the permaculture ethics and principles, especially with the most vulnerable populations of rural farming communities.
In 2018 BEU participated in COY14 (Conference of Youth) and COP24 (Conference of Parties) in Poland and offered sessions on Permaculture introduction and Design in the context of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and Permaculture Policy inclusion for effective response to climate change challenges and the Paris Agreement.
