Uganda is one of Africa’s most fertile countries, yet many rural farmers still struggle to earn sustainable incomes. By addressing a few key challenges, agriculture can become more productive and profitable for farming families.

Solutions

Rainfall has become less predictable, affecting harvests.
Solutions

🚜 4. Limited Farm Mechanization
