Up-scaling mass-rearing of edible grasshopper and edible cricket species for improving food security in northern Uganda

 

Traditional agricultural production in northern Uganda is characterized by low yields which do not meet the nutritional needs of the growing human population. Communities face significant challenges in achieving self-reliance and have limited livelihood options resulting in food insecurity and malnutrition.
