Uganda pastoralists turn to wild plants as food shortages bite
Original: Uganda pastoralists turn to wild plants as food shortages bite, study finds
A new study reports that pastoralist communities in Uganda are increasingly relying on wild plants to cope with food shortages. Researchers say the shift highlights how climate pressures and declining livestock livelihoods are pushing herders to forage for alternative food sources. The findings raise concerns about food security and nutrition in Uganda's pastoral regions, where drought and environmental change continue to disrupt traditional ways of life.
Why now: The study's findings on worsening food insecurity and changing survival strategies among Uganda's pastoralists are newly published.
