Agricultural landscapes are changing as a result of changing technology, changing land ownership patters and also changes in climate and the natural hazards that result. In Uganda, farmers are changing their traditional land use and farming patterns to adapt to the changing climate, mitigate the increasing hazards and to find ways to stabilize their crops and their communities.
Environment 360, published at the Yale School of the Environment, Yale University, USA, documents the changing patterns and the stability that results.
