Museveni urges Bukedi to shift from rice to sustainable farming
President Museveni has warned the people of the Bukedi region that they are misusing the land by growing rice, which has led to the drying of wetlands due to underutilization. He advised farmers to adopt fish farming, coffee growing, and cocoa cultivation along the wetlands, arguing that these alternatives will increase household income, as the rice they are currently growing earns them less money.
