It's been perceived that the solution to food insecurity in Africa is increased productivity. This is 1 solution.

Without increasing resilience through integrated agricultural markets for cost-effective & nutritious foods, the continent’s food value chains continue to be broken.

Across the country in Rwanda, the Sweetpotato decentralized vines multipliers (DVMs) are working hard to ensure that quality vines are available, accessible, and delivered to root growers on time at affordable prices. The commonly multiplied OFSP varieties are Kabode & Vita.

Exciting news for Rwanda's potato industry! The recent RAB Potato Breeding Program Meeting in Kigali was a game-changer. Key stakeholders from Rwanda joined forces to redefine the Potato Market Segment and Target Product Profile, opening up innovative breeding opportunities. 🌱🥔

As youth, we believe that market& information access is crucial to provide employment opportunities for young people in the agriculture sector.

We hope to work with every youth who is engaged in agriculture to make agriculture a profitable business venture in Rwanda and beyond.

Forest landscape restoration (FLR) is the ongoing process of regaining ecological functionality and enhancing human well-being across deforested or degraded forest landscapes.

FLR is more than just planting trees, it is restoring a whole landscape to meet present & future needs

Drones are renovating agriculture sector. They can be used for spraying, scouting and make collection of farm data easier.

Do you like the tool?

[Patrick Karangwa, PhD @P_Karangwa]

Agricultural dvpt is among most powerful tools to end extreme poverty, boost shared prosperity, & feed a projected 9.7 billion people by 2050. Growth in the agriculture sector is 2 to 4 times more effective in raising incomes among the poorest compared to other sectors @WorldBank
