In Uganda, where more than 60 percent of wood production is used for fuel (leading to indiscriminate tree cutting), biogas is seen as a good alternative at the household level. It is also a way to make use of animal manure, by providing fertilizer. In the Kulika region, six biogas plants have been established, and have become focal points for training farmers interested in biogas.
According to a report in LEISA, the magazine which reports Low External Input and Sustainable Agriculture progress (Vol. 21, No. 1), about 50 to 60 percent of the farmers who established biogas plants have been successful and "... are happy with the technology, especially in highly populated districts where fuel wood is a major problem. They save the money that would otherwise have been used to buy fertilizer and they save the time used to make compost, as the slurry needs no treatment before use."
