Improving greengram production for nutritional diversification, income and food security in Uganda
Abstract
99 words
This project seeks options for improving greengram production
and guidelines for promoting it as a crop for diversification of
income and food security in Uganda. The project will analyze
the greengram value chain system; identify the key constraints
in production, consumption and marketing as perceived by
farmers and other stakeholders; and map a direction for onfarm
and on-station greengram research in Uganda. Greengram
germplasm (wild, intermediate and cultivated) will be assembled
and characterised to quantify genetic diversity and identify
agronomically better greengram types. Two MSc students will
be trained on the project at the Faculty of Agriculture Makerere
University.
