ABSTRACT
Uganda continues to experience high levels of poverty. The World Bank estimates 24.5 per cent of the population live in poverty and a similar proportion experience hunger and malnutrition. The vignette is to design a smallholder farm for a family of six in Eastern Uganda in the Mbale/Moroto region. Thirty per cent of people in Moroto are food insecure. The model is an example of permaculture design and copies many aspects of working farms in successful permaculture projects running in rural Africa. The design presented is intended to provide food security for a household through permaculture. For the purposes of this design, the author assumes that there are no cultural barriers to adoption of any part of this design. The aim of this vignette is instead to establish a feasible farm plan that could provide all necessary nutrients for good health, on the smallest possible plot, with the smallest possible investment of time.
