Improving on-farm transport using animal draught power in two hilly districts of Western Uganda. In Empowering Farmers with Animal Traction. In Proceedings of the Workshop of the Animal Traction Network for Eastern and Southern Africa (ATNESA), Mpumalanga, South Africa (pp. 20-24).0-907146-10-4https://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/12012Food crops are plagued by various constraints at different stages of the post harvest systems resulting in varrying degrees of losses along the food pipeline. Poor on-farm transport methods constitute one of the major post harvest constraints especially in hilly and mountainous terrain of Uganda. The use of animal traction has been identified as an appropriate, affordable and sustainable technology to alleviate the drudgery in farm transport and reduce the associated crop post-harvest losses. Donkey transport technology has been successfully introduced in two of the mountainous districts of western Uganda. This paper discusses the processes, methodologies and impact of the introduction of the technology on the rural communities in the above area.en-USWorking Paper
