| dc.description.abstract | This paper analyzes food insecurity vulnerability in rural poor households in Uganda, based on a study conducted in three districts with different food situations. Findings of the study show drivers of vulnerability are large household sizes; lack of alternative cash sources; small land holdings; low application of productivity innovations; neglect of Indigenous minor crops; and limited assets that include lack of livestock, weak social capital, distant extension services, supply and market centres. | en |
