We know that more than 80% of the population in Uganda depends on agriculture production. For the rural population - more than the 85% of the total population - agriculture is the main way of making a living either as pure subsistence farmers or with a little semi-commercial farming. The Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture (PMA) - a central element of Uganda's poverty eradication strategy - is key to enabling the rural population to improve their livelihood and ensure food security through changing subsistence agriculture to doing farming as a business.
