Abstract

This paper is a compilation of an inaugural lecture which is a Makerere University requirement following promotion to a full Professor in ones area of specialisation. I was promoted to full Professor in December 1998 having risen through at the ranks and files since 1985. My research has focused on grassland and range sciences since 1976 and I have a record of more than 100 scientific publications, the majority falling in these areas. I have attended several conferences, symposia and workshops the World over and accumulated massive knowledge and information about the vital role of grasslands in supporting the well being/ livelihoods of humanity.
