| dc.description | This practice describes indoor mushroom(Pleurotus spp.) cultivation as a means to diversify livelihoods and strengthen the resilience of farmers in Uganda. Indoor mushroom cultivation was promoted by the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) project on Agriculture Adaptation to Climate Change in the central cattle corridor ofUganda. Mushrooms can be grown at very low cost and in a relatively short time. It is a practice that can be adopted by small-scale farmers to diversify their income during the dry season, when lack of water may challenge the cultivation of other crops, and reduce their vulnerability to adverse weather.Indeed, mushroom production is done indoor, and it requires little amounts ofwater compared to other crops. | |
