This fall, the staff and interns at B2R Farms planted ourfirst demonstration farm on the Busogo campus of the University of Rwanda College of Agriculture. Despite a season of unusually little rainfall, our 12 interns from the University of Rwanda are using FFF principles of mulching to retain moisture in the soil and combat weed pressure at all B2R demonstration farms. At the same time, they are learning about farm management and are pitching their one-hectare business proposals.
“We believe that by encouraging more educated young women and men to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities in agriculture, we contribute to improving this key sector of the Rwandan economy.“
– Rosine Ndayishimiye, Director of Training, B2R Farms
