Impact of Agri-Input oFood Security in the Lango Sub Region of Northern Uganda

Abstract

Lango sub-region, which is found in Northern part of Uganda, has the greatest number of its communities relying on agriculture for food security and for commercial purposes. The Agricultural activities, which they engage in, require several Agri-inputs for enhanced production. The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of Agri-input supply on food security in Lango Sub Region and three research questions are answered, namely: what impact does input supply have on food security? What is the implication of timeliness of the input supply to food security? And, what is the quality of the inputs supplied on food security? Valuable secondary data including literature that was conducted different related studies from different sources are used. We depended on mixed-method where both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and are used and the same is applied during the analysis. The results reveal that there is a high correlation between the supply of input and quality of food security and, it is suggested that when Agri-inputs are sufficient, timely supplied in good quality, there is a likelihood of food security in the region.
