The influence of water, land, energy and soil-nutrient resource interactions on the food system in Uganda

This study provides a detailed analysis of the Uganda's 2012 WLEN nexus resources vis-à-vis the country's current and potential food demand using calorific-demand analysis and source-to-service resource transformation modelling. The analysis determines estimates of the current resource stresses within Uganda's insufficient food system and the interconnected resource implications for the achievement of food security by 2050. The results are visualised using Sankey diagrams. The inferences highlight evident limits across all four resources. Overall, the analysis helps to inform food security policy and the resource context for the present and future management of Uganda's food system.
