Women farmer experiences with plant clinics: the case of Tororo District, Uganda

Published: June, 2025

Study brief

While women play an important role in agricultural production and global food security, they face more challenges than men in accessing agricultural resources and services, including plant health advisory services. Through the CABI-led PlantwisePlus programme, plant clinics are offering demand-driven plant health diagnostic and advisory services to male and females in many countries worldwide, including Uganda. This study presents the experiences of female farmers in accessing plant clinics in Tororo district of Uganda. Using qualitative research methods, the study examines women farmers’ access to plant clinics, and the challenges they face in interacting with plant doctors and participating in plant clinics.
