Bugema University is in partnership with Jewish Response Uganda and has taken a significant step in advancing agroecology and sustainable development through its engagement in the formation of the Bloomfield Institute for Organic Agroecology and Sustainability (BIOS)—an upcoming institute spearheaded by Jewish Response Uganda (JRU) and funded by the Harmony Foundation of Canada.

During a strategic engagement, the Vice Chancellor, Academic Registrar, and Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Affairs) met with Ms. Miriam Ademun of Inclusive Hearts Uganda and the JRU team to guide the development of the institute. Bugema University will serve as an affiliate academic partner, contributing to the institute’s academic and research foundation.

BIOS is envisioned as a university-anchored institute and learning platform advancing agroecology, climate-smart agriculture, applied research, and community-based learning systems. It will integrate academic programming, field-based training, and community engagement to promote sustainable food systems, resilient livelihoods, and environmental stewardship.

The strategic planning process, led by Ms. Miriam Ademun and Mr. Tumwa from Inclusive Hearts Uganda as the lead consultant, will result in a comprehensive five-year roadmap to operationalize BIOS as a center of excellence in Uganda.
