Also available in:
No results found.This is the 29th of a series of Working Papers prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. For low income producers, livestock can serve as a vital source of food, store of wealth, provide draught power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livesto ck and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly. -

No results found.Livestock production contributes to the livelihoods of poor rural Ugandans by serving as a source of food, a store of wealth, a source of cash, and a complement to crop farming. However, livestock producers, traders, and processors are constrained by missing or inadequate infrastructure, poor quality livestock, endemic and epidemic diseases, the small size of the domestic market, and Uganda’s limited capacity to service international markets. -
ProjectAnalysis of the Constraints and Opportunities in South West Uganda for the Adoption of a Range of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Practicies Using Multi-Level Stakeholder Analysis 2010
Also available in:
No results found.With the continual rise of global commodity prices and increasing population pressures worldwide, the future of agriculture is looking increasingly unstable. As a result of this escalating demand and intensification of unsustainable agricultural techniques, natural resources are facing an increasing threat of depletion. Knowing this, the agricultural potential of sub-Saharan Africa has been relatively ignored and as a globally recognised process, Sustainable Land Management (SLM) will play an im portant role in addressing these pressures, without jeopardising the sustainability of the region. Although conceptually simple, the adoption of SLM is surrounded by many constraints embedded within the stakeholder levels, of policy makers, technocrats and farmers. The opportunities to address the reluctance of adoption SLM are also apparent at this same level, and the analysis therefore takes place across a multi-level stakeholder structure. This research piece highlights the region specific co nstraints and opportunities for implementing SLM whilst also offering recommendations and further research topics as a guideline for future management initiatives and policies.
