Uganda's agricultural sector faces challenges in balancing livestock and crop production to enhance farm sustainability. A systematic review and meta-analysis approach was employed to synthesize data from multiple studies addressing livestock-crop integration strategies in Uganda's agricultural landscape. The analysis revealed that integrating livestock with crop production led to a significant increase of 20% in farm productivity, particularly in soil fertility improvement and increased income for farmers. The meta-analysis confirms the potential benefits of integrated livestock-crop systems in enhancing sustainability across Ugandan farms. Farmers should be encouraged to adopt integrated livestock-crop models to improve their farming practices, supported by extension services and policy incentives.
