Yesterday, it was a privilege to visit @B2RFarms' Goshen land, and what an inspiring learning experience!
The farm is putting conservation agriculture into practice, demonstrating how farmers can protect their soil, make better use of available resources, and build more sustainable and productive farming systems.
One of the highlights was seeing the upland rice 🌾 looking amazing at this stage of the season. It was a great reminder that sustainable agriculture is not only about producing more, it is also about caring for the land that will feed future generations.
Another impressive aspect was seeing the land preparation nearing completion and getting ready for planting using conservation agriculture practices. Seeing these approaches in the field makes it easier to understand how good land management can contribute to long-term soil health, productivity, and resilience.
What makes B2R Farms special is the opportunity to learn by seeing these practices in action from the field and land preparation to the broader farm management approach.
If you are passionate about agriculture, sustainability, food security, or conservation agriculture, I encourage you to visit B2R Farms Goshen and learn from what they are doing.
Come, see, learn, and take something back to your own farming journey.

At Kaboku Cooperative in @NyagatareDistr, mucuna is growing well and providing farmers with mulch as they prepare to plant maize.
A simple Conservation Agriculture practice: using what’s already growing on the farm to protect and improve the soil.

Across Rwanda, B2R Farms and the @ClintonSchool are hearing directly from farmers to better understand the impact of Conservation Agriculture and @FfFarming and strengthen our work through their experiences.

Today, Hon. MoS @solangeuwituze received Mr. Dale Dawson, Founder, Chair, and CEO of @Bridge2Rwanda, to discuss scaling up Conservation Agriculture adoption across Rwanda through a youth-led model that expands training, boosts productivity, and creates jobs. #AgriUpdatesRw
“The harvest is plentiful…”
@RwandaSouth, we’re beginning to see it.
During our recent visit, we witnessed encouraging harvests, growing adoption of conservation agriculture, and farmers actively preparing for the season.

We were honored to host senior officers from the Rwanda Defence Force Command & Staff College at our Busogo Demo Farm during their National Study Tour. The visit highlighted the link between climate resilience and sustainable development.

Grateful to have been part of this #fellowship a few years ago. It played a key role in shaping my career in agriculture. Today, I stand more confident and equipped to contribute to a sustainable food-security. I encourage others to apply and take this life-changing opportunity.
Today, as we observe the 32nd Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, we join Rwandans around the world in remembrance of over one million lives lost. We honor the memory of those who were killed and stand in solidarity with the survivors🕯️🇷🇼

B2R Farms Fellows Promote Conservation Agriculture on RwandaTV. One farmer shared that her maize harvest increased from five bags to eight after adopting FFF/CA, while labor costs for land preparation dropped dramatically. youtu.be/s1Cz0EEz7gc?si=6tA9…
