What does Parthenium hysterophorus infestation mean for a farmer experiencing it firsthand? Today in Kayunga District, farmers are sharing their experiences with researchers, extension personnel and other stakeholders as part of the ASARECA-led initiative promoting sustainable biological control solutions. The field engagement provides participants with an opportunity to observe Parthenium infestation firsthand, hear directly from farmers and better understand the challenges communities face in managing the invasive weed. Connecting farmers' lived experiences with research-based solutions is essential to ensuring that agricultural innovations respond to real challenges and can be effectively adopted at community level. The initiative is strengthening knowledge transfer and promoting environmentally sustainable approaches to managing invasive species. The activity is implemented under the CAADP-XP4 Programme, funded by the @EU_Commission, and managed by the @IFAD.
