Research
My PhD research focuses on how Farmer Organisations in Uganda use food sovereignty as an alternative for sustainable food security and whether and how food sovereignty can be a viable alternative to conventional food systems. This research is part of a larger project, "Mobilising Farmer Organisations for Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa". This project has two objectives: to understand the emergence, development, and outcomes of farmer mobilisation for sustainable and smallholder-oriented agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa, drawing on evidence from Ghana, Uganda, and Zimbabwe; and to strengthen action-oriented research capacity for critically engaged research for sustainable agricultural development in participating countries.
