POLL QUESTION.

Location Responses

In Uganda, over 80% of the population is employed in Agriculture. The majority of the people in rural areas own land. However, it is heartbreaking to find some families, especially the widows and child-headed families who cannot efficiently farm their land because they lack the seeds to plant. Another restraint to their development is a lack of knowledge and technology to better their lot.

The National Agricultural
Advisory Services (NAADS) is a government supported initiative to
eradicate poverty in Uganda by
increasing farmers’ access to information, knowledge and technology for
profitable agricultural development. However, due to a failure to
realize its objectives for numerous reasons, NAADS has recently been taken over
by the Ugandan army.

Please study the various polls we have run on agriculture in Uganda.
