abstract: Most smallholder farmers in Uganda often opt to farm the more popular crops
which include coffee, plantain, cassava, sweet potatoes, and maize. Smallholder
bean farming in Uganda is however overtaking the crops as farmers are seeing the
potential that bean farming possesses. Women in the traditional Ugandan setting are
considered as care givers and are tasked with ensuring food security. In Northern
Uganda for instance, women are not entitled to inheriting land. When it comes to
land sharing, women are only allowed to endorse the sharing. They are however
given a portion where they can plant crops they can utilize in the household. The
Tropical Legumes projects however strived to eradicate the stereotype that exists
with the position of women in production for commercial purposes
