Wauhhh......I'm also a farmer in working both in Rwanda and Uganda. If you come in one of these countries you will never find hard times either through seasons or variety of crop diseases.
In Rwanda, we plant during all seasons, water from hills help us to water the garden and we can use sometimes pipes and water pumps. Our products have less chemicals inputs and we try to manage so as to group at a normal rate.
In Uganda, agriculture keep on facing some challenges such as drought due to climate change. We have now stated using the various irrigation methods so as to ensure food security in the country.
Farmers have now stated using improved and quality with more productivity . Some protective chemicals which we use to protect some agricultural products such as cabbages and tomatoes are now used to ensure crop growth.
Let me stop there since the story is so big.
May be on my next post
