As employ technology in land use, it's important to interrogate its downsides and collectively draw actions to mitigate the challenges especially in this tech era.

She also gave the negative side to technology in land use
📌technology has increased the gap between the elite and illiterate making it easy for elites to grab land & take advantage of the illiterate
📌it has made youth lazy, they spend most of their time on phones

[THE NORTHERN UGANDA LAND PLATFORM (NULP) @NULP_UG]

@faithchuna1 notes that Technology in land is necessary because:
📌 it increases linkages to market land and makes it easier for people to meaningfully exchange land.
📌it makes it easier for us to communicate especially with those who have been victims of land fraud.

[THE NORTHERN UGANDA LAND PLATFORM (NULP) @NULP_UG]

There are three things which will always cause conflict:
1️⃣ Cattle
2️⃣ Land
3️⃣ Power

Therefore when we prepare for these , then we will be able to avoid conflict as a result of land. @faithchuna1
