On 14/10/2026, the CEO of Rwanda Organic Agriculture Movement (ROAM) and the Coordinator of Rwanda Climate Change and Development Network(RCCDN) held a successful meeting with the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources Dr Olivier Kamana. The purpose of the meeting was to update the PS on the progress made regarding the development of the National Agroecology strategy in Rwanda. MINAGRI is playing an important role to coordinate and support the process by engaging the diverse stakeholders including the technical Team of Experts and scientists from different Ministries , researchers, CSOs, farmer organizations and private sector. With that strong support and collaboration, Rwanda is moving towards making the strategy the reality and most importantly reflecting on its implementation plan for an agroecological transformation of the Agri-Food Systems in Rwanda.
The Brazilian skydiver Luigi Cani executed one of the most important jumps of his life in the Amazon.
On this occasion, the holder of the world record for the smallest parachute jump in the world, took more than 100 million seeds - from 27 species of trees native to the local biome - to a remote deforested area in the heart of the Amazon region.
When Luigi got within 6,500 feet of the deforested area, he plunged at 300 km/h, reached the seed box in free fall and released the seeds at the correct height to ensure precise and even distribution.
The seeds collected for the project have a germination rate of over 95% and do not require human intervention to germinate, so in a few years we will see the fruits of this unprecedented action.

I was excited to take part in a climate risk assessment session organized by @REMA_Rwanda and @KfW_FZ_int. I was assigned to analyse @RwamaganaDistr map and selecting a suitable area for the implementation of green and gender-sensitive public spaces.
I was there, for the official opening of the tree-planting season, which was organized by the @EnvironmentRw, and I'm proud to have been among those who planted trees. #heathforestbetterearth
