Rugasira Bakainaga Athanasius from @kiuvarsity presented his postgraduate research proposal, "Utilizing Support Vector Machine Models to Examine the Influence of Household Demographics on Agricultural Productivity and Food Security in Uganda". His study uses advanced machine learning to analyze how household demographics impact crop yields and nutrition, a complex relationship that traditional methods struggle to capture for the 68% of the workforce relying on small-scale farming.
By utilizing advanced Support Vector Machine (SVM) models to analyze decades of data and regional field insights, the project aims to predict and improve livestock and crop productivity across the country. UCC is backing this project to foster data-driven tools that align with Vision 2040, guide policymakers, and support food safety in Ugandan communities.
