Spatial Characterization of Smallholder Zones in Uganda
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The critical first step for the regionalization analysis was to use the description of the Kenya smallholder dairy environments and extrapolate those conditions over Uganda and Tanzania. This kind of evaluation of other countries would not have been possible using the traditional Jaetzold and Schmidt agro-ecological zone map as their zonation scheme was designed specifically for Kenya and was not applicable in Uganda or Tanzania. Using the description of the resulting ‘types’ of smallholder from the spatially defined areas in Kenya (details in Table 2.4.5), we sought similar biophysical situations throughout Uganda and Tanzania. The results of that initial extrapolation are presented in Figure3.1-1.

متن کاملAwareness of ICT-Based Projects and the Intensity of Use of Mobile Phones Among Smallholder Farmers in Uganda: The Case of Mayuge and Apac Districts
As the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is embraced in Uganda, determinants of awareness of ICT based projects remain unknown. The intensity of use of mobile phones among smallholder farmers in the areas where such projects operate is unclear. To address this knowledge gap, 346 smallholder farmers in two ICT project sites in Mayuge and Apac districts were subjected to eco...
