Word from Director of Research

Dr. Titus Alicai
Director NaCRRI
Dear Reader,
At NaCRRI, research is more than discovery, it is a commitment to solutions that serve farmers, communities, and the future of Uganda’s agriculture. This edition of our newsletter reflects that commitment.
Each story and highlight is rooted in the work of dedicated scientists, partners, and farmers collaborating to transform challenges into opportunities from enhancing crop resilience to driving innovations that reach the hands that need them most.
As we push the frontiers of agricultural research, we remain guided by one principle: relevance. Whether it’s advancing climate-smart technologies, informing policy, or empowering rural livelihoods, our work must respond to real needs on the ground. I commend the teams and communities featured here, and I thank you our readers and partners for your continued support in this shared mission.
Together, we are cultivating resilience, equity, and impact one breakthrough at a time.
Dr Titus Alicai
