Smallholder farmers are still the majority of farmers across Africa, and in Uganda, this group contributes greatly to a sustainable agricultural pattern. Also, agriculture being the backbone of the country in enhancing economic development, these key players ensure a value chain in carrying on cultural knowledge to the younger population. In this way, indigenous farming practices and knowledge on food, nutrition and seed management, selection, multiplying and saving is passed down to generations. The methods used in farming seed and food handling as well as preparation by smallholder farmers are still majorly traditional and based on the ways of their forefathers. As such, farming on the wider scope in Africa as a continent has always reflected the diverse cultures, ceremonies and practices of the locals within a particular context which means intergenerational knowledge for generations, nourishing populations and better health outcomes hence increased economic development.
