Although the photo (taken Nov ’18) shows a verdant corn/maize field behind the people on the fish-pond bank, Climate change is wrecking havoc in Uganda. The rains failed prematurely & the crop withered. When we visited again Jan ’19, the crop had yielded very poorly.

This ACE is diversifying. Using internet-research, they are using natural springs to build fish-raising ponds.
