Championing Conservation Agriculture for Climate Resilient Farming and a Food-Secure Rwanda!

[Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture @RICA_Rwanda]

Today, we hosted a delegation from the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, a major US based philanthropic organization, for a courtesy visit to RICA. The @buffett_susan team was taken on a tour of various RICA enterprises and visited the campus demonstration sites to gain insights into conservation agriculture practices and our entrepreneurship program.

This week, RICA organized training sessions on Conservation Agriculture (CA) and Good Agricultural Practices for agronomists from @KireheDistrict and @BugeseraDistr. Through field demonstrations, farmer visits, and interactive meetings, district and sector agronomists enhanced their knowledge and practical skills to more effectively support farmers in implementing CA.

HAPPY WORLD SOIL DAY 2025

Soil isn’t just dirt — it’s where life begins.

Healthy soil = healthy planet.

Let’s protect it, regenerate it, and make sure it continues to nourish us all.

Key agriculture stakeholders @FAORwanda, @RICA_Rwanda and @RwandaAgriBoard have officially launched the Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization through Farmer Field Schools (SAM-FFS) program today, aiming to build smallholder producers’ capacity within the agricultural mechanization sector. Available data shows that mechanized land has doubled to 81,000 hectares in 2025 from 41,899 hectares in 2020.
