I am Loupa Pius, working with the Dodoth Agro-Pastoralist Development Organization (DADO), based in Kaabong, Karamoja region, Uganda. I work as the project coordinator for Conservation Agriculture project. DADO is a local, non-governmental, non-political non-profit making organization founded in July 1996 by the agro-pastoralist communities in Kaabong district. As a community based organization (CBO), DADO was to provide livestock extension services and other related efforts to bring peace and reconciliation among the ethnic groups in north Karamoja. After a decade of its operation as a CBO the organisation was formally registered as a national non-governmental organisation (NGO) with the NGO board.



Well on the pastoralist view. Small farms are generally contributing to food security sustainability across the global rural village. Actually they feed the poor and the urban world with comparatively cheap price commodity. So small farms cannot only be defined maybe by land size but can also be shared, by livestock keepers who are landless but equally share the natural resources and they equally contribute to world food security.
