THREE MONTHS OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN GRAIN AMARANTH RESEARCH

Manuela Filipuzzi has been working with rural grass root communities on grain amaranth production in Nangabo Sub-county, Wakiso district-Uganda, working closely with women groups and other community farmers at house hold level and schools in our Community Livelihood Project (CLP) . She has been working in Kabanyolo, Bamba and Kiteezi for three months were she has set up field experimental plots with rural farming communities. The major aim is to promote grain amaranth for food security at all levels. This work has been closely supervised by Prof. Moses Tenywa of Makerere University Agriculture Research Institute Kabanyolo and CLP team where plots equivalent to 1 acre have been setup this last season of 2011.
