limit the adoption of soil erosion control measures. These factors are categorised as: limited technical capacity, socio-economic and political constraints. A multidisciplinary approach was adopted to address these complex constraints through the establishment of a multi-site experiment on 26 smallholder farms, observation of practices on the 26 smallholder farms, interviews and focus group discussions [...] (theoretical) and farmers' lived experience (indigenous knowledge) through participatory frameworks such as the Hylomorphic Framework resulted in a contextualised soil erosion control model that addresses the technical, economic and social constraints of current soil erosion control measures and identifies pathways to sustainable adoption of soil erosion control. The PhD study was embedded in the APPEAR [...] collaboration between Mountains of the Moon University (MMU) and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU). The AER is a community-led and regionally-embedded intervention that addresses the challenges faced daily by the majority in the Rwenzori region: smallholder farmers. As most of the region is mountainous, soil erosion is a reality on every smallholder farm. "I have been working

addressed this challenge through the application of a multidisciplinary approach that focussed on the production, the economic and social aspects related to OMM on smallholder farms. To holistically address these elements, field experiments were established on 10 smallholder farms in Nyabbani Sub County in Kamwenge district in the Rwenzori Region of Uganda. The experiments included a combination of different [...] in Western Uganda (AER) - a collaboration between Mountains of the Moon University (MMU) and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU). AER was regionally embedded and aimed to address real-life challenges including soil fertility improvement on nutrient depleted smallholder farms. This to a great extent is highly appreciated by MMU, the community and by Deous Mary Ekyaligonza herself
to generate knowledge to inform sustainable solutions in the fields of poverty eradication, health improvements, food security or climate change mitigation. Universities have thus both the power to address global as well as local challenges through the research they perform and the task to train future change‐makers. However, weak management structures and staff members in mid‐level and leading positions [...] present a significant challenge here.
