Summary
Natural resource degradation in Uganda has increased over the past 30 years, causing biodiversity loss and livelihoods challenges from reduced nutritional diversity and reduced food yields caused by soil erosion and flooding. This project will investigate how native food plant species in diverse agroforestry system could help address these problems. These species will be tested in agroforestry trials, analysed nutritionally, and developed into new food products. The results will then be promoted to rural and urban communities.
