Farmers on Mt Elgon, which rises over 2000m above Mbale in Eastern Uganda have seen the effects of climate change first hand and 'banana wilt' is now a feature that they have to contend with. We visited Wamimbi Weasa, a retired diplomat, who now farms a small holding in the foothills of Mt Elgon. Weasa is also Chairman of the Mt Elgon Tree Farmers Association.
Here’s a brief clip from the filming where local journalist William Odinga goes to meet Weasa to find out more.
