Food security remains a critical challenge for smallholder farmers in many parts of Africa, particularly in northern Uganda where agricultural productivity often fails to meet population growth and climate change impacts. The research employed a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative survey data from 200 randomly selected participants with qualitative interviews of 30 farmers. Data was collected through structured questionnaires and in-depth discussions to gather detailed insights into the impact of training workshops. Participants reported significant improvements in crop yields, reduced post-harvest losses, and increased access to market information after attending food security training sessions. A notable trend observed was a 25% reduction in household food insecurity scores among workshop attendees. The findings suggest that targeted food security training workshops can be effective in improving livelihood stability for smallholder farmers in northern Uganda by enhancing their agricultural practices and market knowledge. Based on the study's results, it is recommended to expand these training programmes across more regions of northern Uganda and integrate them with existing extension services. Additionally, continuous feedback mechanisms should be established to ensure ongoing improvement and relevance. Food Security Training, Smallholder Farmers, Livelihood Stability, Northern Uganda
