Abstract

This study investigated the food security effect of the adoption of improved maize varieties among farming households in Uganda using four waves of the Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) spanning the period 2013 to 2020. The panel data regression analysis using a recursive bivariate probit and a two-stage fixed-effects Poisson regression model that confirmed food security benefits among the adopting farmers, measured as the number of meals taken per day and food availability. Therefore, to widely enjoy the benefits from adoption, awareness of these benefits should be created among farmers by Uganda’s Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) and NGOs through the various development interventions targeting smallholder farmers.
