Changing landscapes in Uganda’s seed system: An analysis on and performance

In farming, access to improved varieties and quality seed is among the more effective ways of addressing low yields and output. There is ample evidence that the adoption of better seeds and traits contributes significantly to productivity growth in developing-country agriculture (Walker and Alwang,...

description In farming, access to improved varieties and quality seed is among the more effective ways of addressing low yields and output. There is ample evidence that the adoption of better seeds and traits contributes significantly to productivity growth in developing-country agriculture (Walker and Alwang, 2015; Evenson and Gollin, 2003). Although neither should not be viewed as a panacea to all problems in agriculture and rural development, many global and national development programs rely heavily on seeds and traits as an entry point for their efforts to enhance productivity.
