KAMPALA — As the world observes the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, Uganda is confronting a hidden crisis threatening the livelihoods of its 45.9 million citizens.

Speaking to thousands of cheering supporters at Bukalasa Agricultural College playground, Museveni framed his candidacy as a continuation of the revolution he led four decades ago.
