Transform and empower the lives of 900 subsistence farming families in rural Uganda (360G-CR-2120971)

This project focuses primarily women. It seeks to improve farming practices, increase food security, and create surplus for sale. Although all rural subsistence farmers face challenges, women farmers face many specific problems. These include: obstacles to owning their own land, poor access to affordable credit, and limited knowledge of improved farming methods. With high quality seeds to cope with severe weather, skills for producing new crops, and access to loans, and links to market, women will be better-equipped to increase their agricultural production. Working with a wider network of buyers will help obtain fairer prices, increase income and their voice in key decisions.
