Uganda is one of the countries where Organic agriculture has
thrived for sometime. However, because of its' perceived labour
intensity some small scale farmers are reluctant to adopt it. This
book therefore aims at exploring the dynamics of adoption of
organic agriculture in Kyalulangira sub-county, Rakai district
located in Uganda. It sought to find out how farmers perceived
organic agriculture, the reasons for the persistent use of
synthetic agrochemicals in the area, the factors affecting organic
agriculture adoption, the challenges to organic agriculture
practice in the sub-county as well as farmers' recommendations for
popularising organic agriculture in the area. Following a survey
design, we interviewed one hundred fifty randomly selected farmers
from the five parishes of Kyalulangira sub-county, Rakai District.
Results from the study indicate that organic agriculture is mainly
perceived as farming without synthetic agrochemicals. Farmers'
knowledge/awareness of organic agriculture and cost of production
are the main factors influencing adoption.
