Feasibility of Land Restoration Using Fodder Trees and Shrubs in Smallholder Farming Systems in Sembabule District of Uganda
Land Restoration Training Programme Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland Final project 2019 FEASIBILITY OF LAND RESTORATION USING FODDER TREES AND SHRUBS IN SMALLHOLDER FARMING SYSTEMS IN SEMBABULE DISTRICT OF UGANDA Rosset Mujuni Natukunda Sembabule District Local Government P.O BOX1388, Masaka, Uganda. [email protected] Supervisor Jónína Sigríður Þorláksdóttir Rif Field Station [email protected] ABSTRACT Fodder trees and shrubs play a vital role in the diet of browsers. Once integrated in agropastoral land use systems, they can improve the soil, vegetation, environment, and livestock production as well as peoples’ livelihoods. For this reason, they have been advocated for by many extension workers and are considered an important area of research. This study, carried out in the Sembabule District of Uganda aimed to assess the feasibility of land restoration using fodder trees and shrubs. Data was collected through focus group discussions with farmers and semi- structured interviews with a technical staff member and a local leader. Results indicated that subsistence livestock rearing, and crop growing are major livelihood activities in the area in addition to charcoal production and trade in agricultural products. Land degradation, drought, overgrazing, termite infestation, emergence of plant species unpalatable to livestock, and reduced area available for grazing are the main challenges facing farmers in the area. The most common fodder tree species used by farmers was Calliandra calothyrsus, which can encourage the establishment of many other plant species, remains green all year round, increases milk production and income, and improves livelihoods. Women seemed to be more active in fodder tree establishment compared to their male counterparts. Their participation was constrained, however, by land ownership as all male respondents owned land compared to only one of all the women participants.
