Karamoja Greenbelt's Women Led Large Scale Farming of Cereals, Legumes and Oilseed

About this project

This project seeks to respond to chronic food insecurity in the Karamoja region, which is a result of combined pressures, including environmental degradation and climate change. Most people in Karamoja are facing food shortages, either year-long or seasonal, and the region has been exposed to increasing droughts. The project will also empower the women of Karamoja through large scale commercial farming of staple cereals (Sorghum/Bulrush millet and Maize) as well as Oilseed and Legumes (Sunflower, Tepary White Beans, Soybeans and Pigeon Peas/Black eyed peas).
