Agriculture is the most important sector in Uganda's economy, but it continues to experience challenges of erratic rainfall variability and environmental degradation. This paper is situated within post-structuralist geographical thought to (i) classify CSA practices and (ii) empirically quantify the ...
This study aimed at understanding the influence of policy frameworks on climate changeadaptation in Uganda. It combined literature review on existing natural resource managementpolicies, focus group discussions with farming communities and interviews with keyinformants across various policy implementation levels...
Human health is mainly dependent on nutrition. In this era of modern civilization, many parts of the world (countries) are still struggling with the availability of sufficient food grains. Agriculture production is largely dependent on climatic condition
The CATP requires farmers to complete a set of modules on good agronomic practices to gain informal certification. The results indicate that participating in the CATP increases the adoption of climate-smart cowpea varieties, productivity, and cowpea income by 75, 15, and 24% points, respectively...
A group of biophysical and economic models is configured to implement a modelling approach to upscale Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies to simulate the impacts and costs of climate change at the national level. There is also an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of CSA technologies in...
In general, the evidence suggests that farmers do not adopt a new crop or crop variety without changing other practices. A total of 136 papers (67%) describe that farmers adopt climate-resilient crops in conjunction with other climate-resilient technologies such as climate-smart agriculture (CSA)...
With so many different practices that can be considered climatesmart agriculture, it can be challenging for growers to determine the best course of action when contemplating different approaches. UC Cooperative Extension Community (UCCE) can provide assistance with the selection and implementation of diff...
Conduct Systemic Analysis:To successfully promote and implement climate-smart practices in Uganda, understanding the system in which coffee producers make their decisions must be considered. Disincentives for adoption of climate-smart practices may include informal land tenure, gender relationships and poor...
We also investigated if perceiving a greater number of climatic changes influenced adaptation responses, using mixed-effects models (Methods). In Uganda, it has been shown that farmers with better skills on climate tracking (for example, recall of rainfall patterns which align with meteorological data...
This module provides guidance and a comprehensive menu of practical tools for integrating gender in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of projects and investments in climate-smart agriculture (CSA). The module emphasizes the importance and ultimate goal of integrating gender in CSA p...
