Training of champion farmers and extension agents from @MusanzeDistrict, @RutsiroDistrict & @KarongiDistr on Conservation Agriculture (CA), that was ongoing @RwandaAgriBoard Musanze station, closed today. Was great listening to farmers feedback & commitment to adopt & promote CA.
Did you know the median landholding in Rwanda is 0.2 hectares? We need these climate smart AND regenerative solutions to increase productivity and restore our soils 🌾
Around 250 million small-scale African farmers, who operate on plots smaller than one hectare, play a crucial role in sustaining the continent's food supply by producing approximately 70 percent of it. https://t.co/noQnIOqEdc via @WBG_Agriculture @IITA_CGIAR@CGIAR
