RICA held a 2-day brainstorming workshop with agriculture stakeholders, to review recommendations from last year's 1st National CA symposium. They discussed ways to unify messaging on good agronomic practices and Conservation Agriculture (CA) principles, aiming to boost CA adoption among farmers and improve productivity for sustainable food security.

As Rwanda’s 2026A agricultural season takes off, its success will depend not only on good agricultural practices, but also on embedding a strong business mindset at the heart of farming.

Under #KIIWP2, we’ve ensured that @KayonzaDistrict farmers intertwine “Farming as a Business” into their farming cycle.

Through @Cordaid’s Farming as a Business (FaaB) model, farmers are empowered to plan strategically, envision growth, and manage their farms as thriving enterprises — transforming into planners, strategists, visionaries, and ultimately, entrepreneurs.
