Yes, we may soon have no bananas

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.
