This project aims to increase the food security and income of smallholder farmers in the rural Zombo District in Uganda. In this region, more than 90 percent of residents depend on small-scale agriculture for their livelihoods; a majority of these farmers are women who rely on agricultural production to feed their families and earn income by selling crops at local markets. Land degradation, poor soil health, and high dependence on rain-fed agriculture have increased the vulnerability of rural households to food insecurity and poverty.
This project with longtime BGR partner Oxfam America will train 200 smallholder women farmers in crop management, agronomic climate-smart practices, and tree planting for ecosystem restoration. The farmers will receive seeds and supplies as well as business training to enhance their income-earning abilities. Existing partner, new project.
