ABSTRACT  The Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) supports one of the poorest and most populous rural populations  in the East Africa region. The increase in population and the dipping fish population, has forced  the community around the Lake Victoria to seek alternative sources to complement their daily  food needs. This has made large scale farming... Continue Reading
