This scientific study research set out to look into the "effect of the environment on traditional farming in farming villages." a study of the Kakuuto Sub-County in the Kyotera District. Questionnaires were used to collect data as part of a case study inquiry approach. Both methods of analysis were used on the data. The objectives of the study were to: look into the implications of unpredictable precipitation patterns on crop production and livelihood in remote communities in Uganda; look into the variables that influence farmers' perceptions and reactions to the distribution of rainfall in Uganda; and look into the effect of climate structures metrics on the nation's agrarian economy. The R-squared number (0.296) WAS greater than the Adjusted R-squared value (0.293) since those accounts for the freedom of motion. Youth emigration, particularly to cities or abroad in search of better prospects, is on the rise. The majority of farmers are elderly people who find it challenging to keep up with new technological developments. Using cutting-edge agricultural equipment, software, and programs for meteorological data, for instance.

This research takes a critical look at challenges of citizen journalism as a form of new media in Uganda. It also tried to establish the factors that have influenced the increasing growth and popularity of citizen journalism. Citizen journalism for the purpose of this research was limited to blogging. Blogging has become a channel through which people share ideas, news, advice and analyses on different happenings in the society. The study was guided by the following research questions: (I) what challenges citizen journalism has posed to media industry in Uganda? (ii) How UBC respond to challenges posed by citizen journalism in Uganda? (iii) What factors influence citizen journalism practice in Uganda? To achieve these objectives, descriptive survey and cross-sectional designs were carried out. On whether the interactive nature of news media has made online journalism popular and accessible, 47 respondents representing 62.7% rated the statement as very true being followed by 20 respondents representing 26.7% who rated it as true, seven said somewhat true (9.3%) and one respondent said (1.3%) s a i d not true. The mean was therefore 3.51 which clearly suggest that it is true that the interactive nature of news media has made citizen journalism popular and accessible. This study has also revealed that there is a lot of collaboration between professional and citizen journalists. This collaboration has great benefits for professional journalism. The citizen journalism being practiced is institutionalized (rather than alternative in the institutional sense), but there is a continuous need for the negotiation of power and emphasis between these two elements because research.miu.ac.ug/publications 457 Metropolitan Journal of Social and Educational Research (MJSER) ISSN 1813-4262 (Print) ISSN 1813-4270 (online) Vol. 2 Issue 2, May - 2023, Pages: 457-474 they do have different epistemological foundations.

The major objective of this study lied in finding out whether there was a relationship between Pesticides and Food Security in Kisoro Municipality, Kisoro District. Other objectives included: to establish the level of Pesticides application in Kisoro Municipality and to find out the extent of Food Security in Kisoro Municipality, Kisoro District. The study targeted 78 farmers, LC1 chairperson and Kisoro district agricultural officer. Data was analyzed by use of Microsoft excel and presented in form of frequency distribution tables and pie chart. SPSS Software was used to analyze data in the study. The researcher concluded that there is a very strong positive relationship between pesticides and food security at r = 0.745 and since the sig. value (.000) was far less than 0.01, which is the maximum level of significance required declaring a significant relationship between pesticides and food security, this implies that the when the level of pesticides application is high, the level of food security is also high because many crops grows to maturity without pest interferences and when the level of application of pesticides is low, the level of food security is also low. The researcher recommends the farmers to plant crops in large quantities so that they can feed the rapidly growing population in Kisoro District.

The main objective of this study is to assess the significance of road transport to the development of the tourism sector in Uganda focusing on the case of Queen Elizabeth National Park .The study further has three objectives three specific objectives which were; To establish the relationship between road transport investment and the tourism development in Queen Elizabeth National Park, to examine the nature of roads in the areas of Queen Elizabeth National Park and to find out the effect of road transport on tourism development in Queen Elizabeth national Park. Keeping other factors constant, a one percent increase in investment of road transport leads to 0.239 percent increase in tourism development. The p-value (0.037) is less than 0.05 which implies that investment in road transport/infrastructure have a statistical significance on tourism development and thus the null hypothesis is rejected. The R squared value (0.961) is greater than the adjusted R squared value (0.950) because it takes into consideration the degrees of freedom and hence a good fit. Since F-computed (122.701) is greater than F-tabulated (10.01), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that road transport has a significant relationship on tourism development. This study focused on the effect of government expenditure on road infrastructure (both paved and unpaved) would have on tourism of the country. It was established that in the research.miu.ac.ug/publications 426 Metropolitan Journal of Social and Educational Research (MJSER) ISSN 1813-4262 (Print) ISSN 1813-4270 (online) Vol. 2 Issue 2, May - 2023, Pages: 426-440 long run a percentage increase in both paved and unpaved road had effects on tourism development.

Uganda's economy has expanded during the past 20 years, and poverty levels have significantly decreased. Uganda's GDP expanded by 5.5% year over year in the second quarter of 2017, up from of the previously reported 4.6% development. With the help of forest management, agriculture, and fishing, it has had its best population increase since the third quarter of 2015. The study's goal was to determine the importance and function of agricultural development in the Kaberamaido district. The majority of farming community, according to the Soroti District Farmers' Association, are created on properties located. They are founded on goals that support the growth of farmers in the region, such as figuring out how agriculture has affected Uganda's economy and figuring out the difficulties facing agriculture development in Kaberamaido. Local leaders made up the biggest proportion of the overall number of responders (31%), followed by technical personnel and farmers (25%), farmers (25%) and LC1 representatives (19%). According to table 3 below, 25% of participants were technical employees, 25% were farmers, and 19% were LC1 chairmanships. Local leaders made up 31% of the participants. Through into the current framework, the administration and quasi organizations should support agricultural development by providing local farmers with technical and financial support. The local communities should not overly rely on agricultural operations because they are frequently subject to drought stress.

The study's objective was to determine how much more the journalists in Uganda truly helped to the creation of policy. Its purpose was to assess the efficiency of the administration of Uganda's media regulation operation, the degree of awareness creation of those regulations, and the role of the media in the process. 150 individuals who had been deliberately selected from the intended audience were investigated using both research methods and qualitative techniques as part of a case study approach. The bulk of the suggestions were feasible for achieving a variety of goals, but execution funding was limited, they had primarily symbolic value, and the participants' understanding of the issues was inadequate. It was also discovered that the media had minimal impact on how regulations were developed. Based on the research's findings, the administration should educate the general public about the advantages of getting involved with the creation of public policy and media owners should devote more time to this topic in their shows. The study came to the conclusion that media owners that participate in the creation of public policy should receive government benefits.
