Turning local knowledge on agroforestry into an online decision-support tool for tree selection in smallholders' farms
Coffee is a major cash crop in Uganda accounting for about 20 30% of foreign exchange earnings. Smallholder farmers whose average farm sizes range from 0.5 to 2.5 ha produce 90% of Uganda s coffee. The livelihoods of these smallholder coffee farmers are very vulnerable and studies have shown that...

Impact of climate change on coffee in Uganda. Lessons from a case study on Arabica coffee in the Rwenzori Mountains
Coffee and banana are important cash and food crops in Uganda and the surrounding East African highland region. Production is dominated by smallholders that have limited arable land and often coffee and banana are intercropped. No significant research and development efforts have been undertaken ...

Perceptions and outlook on intercropping coffee with banana as an opportunity for smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda
Coffee is a primary cash crop and banana a primary food crop in the East African highlands region, including Rwanda, Burundi, north-west Tanzania, west and central Kenya and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. These two crops often occur on the same smallholder farms, either planted on separate...

Coffee/Banana intercropping as an opportunity for smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi
Despite the considerable progress made in the last decade towards building governance systems for climate change adaptation in Africa, implementation still limits positive responses. This study applies an iterative process of field assessments and literature reviews across multiple governance lev...

Institutional challenges to climate change adaptation: A case study on policy action gaps in Uganda
During the months of April and May 2014, vegetation structure was measured on the 150 selected plots. The altitude and plot boundary coordinates were recorded using Garmin eTrex GPS. Plot size was calculated based on plot boundary coordinates in R Statistics (R Core Team, 2014) using the sp packa...
