| Development of Organic Agriculture stem from the demand for safe and environmentally friendly food, which arose from outcome mistakes made by the Green Revolution that failed to achieve sustainable food security. Organic Agriculture awareness started from the north where severe negative impacts of the Green Revolution exist. In order to counteract such negative effects to the environment, together with early awareness of the need to conserve the environment, Organic Agriculture spread to the south at a fairly fast rate. The result is that Organic Agriculture support systems, such as research, extension and education, as well as related policies are lacking. However, the south and Uganda in particular has a favorable environment for the growth of Organic... |

| World population is about 7 billion in 2010 and is expected to grow much more. The expected growth is highest in parts of the world that are vulnerable to hunger and adverse climatic conditions, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This then translates into the likely need for more food in these regions. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of appropriate farming technologies and the many constraints limiting production and productivity of major commodities. Apart from hunger, unless the situation is addressed through a holistic approach to research, there is a very real danger that environmental degradation will escalate. UNEP (2009) found that the recent food crisis could even exacerbate in the next decade if there are no explicit answers to... |

| This experiment was conducted in Katabi Sub-county in Wakiso District. The study evaluated efficacy of selected biorational combinations in the management of tomato blight. These biorationals were picked from the locally used plant materials used as natural pesticides and fungicides. They included Carica papaya, Phytolacca dodecandra, Jatropha curcas, Capsella Bursa-pastoris and. Tephrosia vogelli. The major objective was to evaluate efficacy of Carica papaya, Phytolacca dodecandra, Jatropha curcas, Capsella Bursa-pastoris and. Tephrosia vogelli.against tomato blight. This research was guided by three major objectives that is; to determine the biorational combinations that reduces tomato bright to levels below economic injury thresholds, to establish... |

| Land degradation is a big issue in agro ecosystems in developing, transition economy and developed countries. This problem affects negatively agriculture productivity and production in rural areas of all countries where most people depend on the agriculture activities to survive and satisfy their needs. Therefore it impacts food security, poverty, livelihood and wellbeing of rural populations. Factors such as poverty, population growth or pressure, climate change, human activities (intensification of agriculture, industrialization and urbanization), poor awareness and lack of institutions and poor governance (poor policies and management) are causing and increasing land degradation and its negatives consequences on agro ecosystems functions and services.... |
