Uganda: Vegetables for the high-end market

On a hot Sunday afternoon, a farmworker perched on top of a ladder is scrubbing the netting off a greenhouse. Luckily, this part of the farm has shade from a cluster of trees. As his co-workers send him water to pour on the netting, John Musajjakawa stands below the ladder, giving instructions as he supervises the work.

"Greenhouses require a certain level of cleanliness," he tells me. "We scrub the netting to remove fungi that sticks to it, preventing air from circulating." The fungi are visible on unscrubbed parts of the netting.
