NARO equips farmers with skills in conservation agriculture By: Prossy Nandudu Pix:Prossy Nandudu As effects of climate change continue to present themselves in Uganda, there is a concern among stake holders that this could affect production hence plunging the country into a state of food insecurity. This so because it is the agriculture sector that is mainly feeling the effects which include prolonged droughts ,abrupt and heavy rains, pests and diseases, reducing soil fertility, low yields among others. The above have been made worse by some farmer practices that don't allow the soils to rest or that expose them to all the above the factors. The observation was made by Dr.Drake Mubiru a senior research officer at NARO during a training session of farmers on Conservation Agriculture at Namalere, Kawanda. The training was aimed at equipping farmers with skills under conservation farming to help them cope with effects of climate change. Thro
