    The dairy sector plays an important role in the Ugandan economy as a source of food, income and employment to many smallholder farmers. In the middle north cattle corridor, great potential exists to expand the dairy industry because of a high availability of crop by-products, such as oilseed cakes, local pastures and legumes. Although 60 percent of households keep livestock, they face a series of challenges and risks related to production, markets and the environment, and dairy cattle productivity is generally low. Therefore this project aimed to develop a viable dairy value chain in two districts of Apacand Kole, which are in the middle north cattle corridor. The two districts are endowed with local resources for dairy development. The focus of the project was on the improvement of livestock feeds and feeding systems among small-scale dairy farmers, and training on improved reproductive technologies and best breeding practices, as well as agribusiness, milk quality and hygiene

    Options for low emission development in the Uganda dairy sector
    Reducing enteric methane for food security and livelihoods

    Given the importance of the dairy sector to rural livelihoods and its potential role in poverty reduction, this study evaluates the potential for improving milk production while reducing enteric methane (CH4) emission intensity from dairy production in Uganda. The study reveals that that there are significant opportunities for growth on a low carbon path for the dairy sector and that economically viable opportunities exist (in varying degree and circumstances) in all the seven dairy production systems; however, the greatest opportunities for immediate mitigation and productivity increases at scale lie in traditional dairy systems.
