Abstract:

Technologies are the building blocks for development. Through partnerships with the
many and varied development workers active in developing Uganda, improved
agricultural technologies will lead to agricultural transformation and improved
livelihoods. NARO is proud to be contributing to these processes through its
development of improved agricultural technologies.
In this context we define agricultural technologies as the products and processes of
research which result into agricultural outputs. Examples of improved agricultural
technologies include improved crop varieties, animal breeds, farm implements,
production methods and practices. This technology inventory lists the technologies
developed by NARO up to December 2003. They are organised into sections on crops,
livestock, fisheries, forestry, farm machinery, soils and "other", in that order. Each section
is further subdivided into product/practice, applicable farming system, and research
institute where more information about the technology can be obtained
