Figure 3. A homegarden maintained using agroforestry practices in one of the sugarcane cultivation villages of Jinja and Mayuge districts, eastern Uganda. The crops here included cassava (Manihot esculenta), maize (Zea mays L), coffee (Coffea sp.), bananas (Musa spp.) and agroforestry trees (e.g. Maesopsis eminii).
