Smallholder Farmers in Uganda Poised to Lift Millions Out of Poverty through Agricultural Education
The paper discusses how education in agriculture can help people in Uganda escape poverty. The researchers looked at the country's reliance on agriculture, low productivity, and challenges faced by smallholder farmers, especially women. They found that Uganda struggles with food security and faces difficulties in exporting agricultural products due to limited value addition. The country is at risk of becoming a net food importer despite its agricultural potential. The researchers suggest that a green revolution, supported by better education and infrastructure, is needed to improve the economy.
