Today, Amath Pathé Sene, Managing Director of the Secretariat of the Africa Food Systems Forum, and his team paid a courtesy visit to RICA leadership to celebrate our collaboration during the @TheAGRF#AFSF2024 Summit held in Kigali last September.
During the visit, they also recognized the outstanding contributions of 20 RICA alumni who supported with data collection and reporting at the summit. The team had the chance to explore our conservation agriculture program. We are proud of our alumni and congratulate them on their success at such prestigious international conferences.

Almost everything we eat (95%) and wear (60%) is a product of agriculture, emphasizing its central role in our daily lives. Everyone in agriculture, especially farmers, should be proud of their vital role in sustaining humanity.

Farmers! this is a simple yet powerful tool for sustainable pest control. By using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques like these, we can protect our crops without harming the environment. Check out how @NjengaGreens is leading the way. #IPM#SustainableFarming

What a day for RICA! Our alumni returned for the first-ever Homecoming, reconnecting and making an impact. They planted native trees and an orchard of avocados, toured the new conservation agriculture demo plots and enjoyed a casual networking lunch.
The day wrapped up with an exciting football match between alumni and current students. RICA's homecoming helps foster lifelong bonds and highlights our shared mission to advance conservation agriculture and sustainable development. #RICAHomecoming #Sustainability #Community

Conservation Agriculture (CA) is the backbone of RICA; no-till farming is the heart. This week, our farm team planted no-till corn, preserving soil health & promoting a thriving ecosystem. From planting to harvesting, we'll monitor this crop & report our CA best practices.
Let’s commend the invaluable contribution of Rica student volunteers, even during their term break. Their commitment to making a difference is appreciated. A shoutout to these dedicated volunteers for their role in shaping a brighter future year-round! @RwandaAgri@Rwanda_Edu
Embracing Ag. mechanization and smart irrigation techniques is the key to #sustainable farming. Let's harness technology to grow more with less, ensuring food security for all!
