Priest Combats Deforestation and Works to Revive Agriculture in Uganda | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A priest from the University of Notre Dame, Father Emmanuel Katongole, witnessed the destruction of forests in his home country of Uganda, where 85% of the population relies on agriculture to survive. Civil war and the devastating impact of the AIDS epidemic have left an entire generation without the knowledge and skills needed to farm and care for the land. In response, Father Katongole founded the Bethany Land Institute. Father Emmanuel Katongole joins to discuss why he believes this model can succeed, the urgent problem of rapid deforestation in Uganda — the country with the fourth fastest-growing population on Earth — and his long-term goal for the Bethany Land Institute. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
