In Vumale area, a vibrant rural village in Sabatia sub county, agriculture remains the backbone of the community, with families depending on the fertile soils to sustain their livelihoods.
However, as the weather patterns become more erratic and pests like the fall army worm invades, the villagers have been compelled to be innovative to maintain their crops.
Kizito Amukowa, a maize and bean farmer in the area, says he has witnessed a shift in the climate over the years. "The rains used to come on time, but nowadays, we cannot predict when it will start or end.
This uncertainty is making farming harder," Kizito says adding with the interventions he has made, the crops harvest is now reliable and predictable.
