Innovations in Value-Addition of Agricultural By-Products in Uganda

Denis Nsubuga, Noble Banadda, Nicholas Kiggundu · 2019 · Journal of Environmental Protection

Summary. Uganda generates millions of tons of agricultural by-products from crops, livestock, fish, and forestry annually. Current innovations convert these materials into briquettes, biogas, biochar, organic fertilizers, and composite building materials. The review identifies additional opportunities: bones for soft tissue and buttons, blood for adhesives and fertilizers, and fish oil for food enrichment. These value-addition strategies reduce waste while creating new products and income sources.
