The contribution of wetlands to food security has not been investigated previously, hence efforts at sustainability have not attracted attention in Uganda, with resulting increase of wetland degradation. During implementation and review of the Fisheries, Agriculture and Food and Nutrition Policies, wetlands should be recognised and included as critical resources that facilitate food security. Currently only agricultural land is recognized.Text1 digital file (4 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenFOOD SECURITYDISADVANTAGED GROUPSUGANDADROUGHTENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHWETLANDSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONSOUTH OF SAHARANUTRITION POLICYAGRICULTURAL POLICYPolicy Brief
