Ugandans should take advantage of the soaring prices by churning out more produce to push forward the Prosperity for All programme, President Yoweri Museveni has said.
Increasing production is the natural and proper way to respond to high prices. In the meantime, don't starve. Harvest the natural crop that is around you causing trouble: Typha (Kachalla, reedmace, cattail...). Some of what you have in Uganda is known to be contaminated with heavy metals and cannot be eaten. But otherwise, cattail grown in clean water and soil is food year round. Harvesting it will help you control it too, which in turn will help control flooding, drought, and malaria. And much of what is unfit for human consumption can be made into fuel.
