History of Uganda’s fertile Soils and WHY ITS FAILING TO PRODUCE ENOUGH FOOD?(Dr. Joseph Tamale PHD)

Описание: In this powerful episode of Happy Farmers Uganda, we host Dr. Joseph Tamale, a soil management expert, to go deeper into a question many Ugandans are afraid to ask:
👉🏾 What went wrong with Uganda’s soils that were once believed to be naturally fertile?

For decades, Uganda has been proudly branded the “Pearl of Africa.” Farmers were told our soils are rich, forgiving, and endlessly productive. But today, declining yields, exhausted land, and rising fertilizer dependence tell a different story.

In this conversation, Dr. Tamale breaks it down:

Were Uganda’s soils ever as fertile as we were made to believe?

How farming practices, population pressure, and policy failures quietly damaged our land

The dangerous myths farmers still believe about “natural fertility”

What smallholder farmers can do now to restore soil health

Why soil management is no longer optional for Uganda’s food security

This episode is educational, honest, and uncomfortable — but necessary for anyone who cares about farming, food, and the future of Uganda’s agriculture.
