Land access and use play a critical role in Environmental and Natural Resources Management (ENRM) in Uganda’s refugee-hosting districts. This two-pager explores how land scarcity, intensive cultivation, demand for biomass and insecure land tenure contribute to environmental degradation, affecting agricultural productivity, food security and refugee self-reliance.
