%X Agriculture supports the livelihoods of most people in Uganda, particularly farmers, whoconstitute over 80% of the countryís population. The government has formulated poli-cies to improve agricultural production. Consequently, a Plan for Modernization of Agri-culture (PMA) has been adopted, which includes the following strategies:ïpromote specialization in productionï promote improved agricultural technologies ï promote profit-driven investment (commercialization)ï diversify land use, including promoting agroforestryïcontrol land fragmentationïpromote production of high-value cropsIn Uganda, agroforestry research started in 1988. Through rigorous promotion, farmers have adopted some technologies generated from research. The promotion of agroforestryin Uganda has, however, been constrained by limited access to suitable tree seeds and seedlings, inadequate numbers of extension staff and limited support in terms of infor-mation and facilities.
