SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT: Restoring community farmland in Uganda
Water and food security of agro-pastoral communities in the area are under threat. Flash floods, erratic rainfall, and an ongoing battle with crop pests have made steady and healthy crop growth difficult. As a result, food shortages are causing acute malnutrition, and conflicts regularly arise amongst neighbouring communities fighting for arable land resources. As a last resort, many turn to the forests for charcoal and wood to sell as an alternative but unreliable source of income that is grossly detrimental to the local eco-system. Consequently, many in the farming community rely entirely on food aid and subsistence agriculture
