Organic Farmers

Rwanda’s great asset of the spectacular rolling green hills, is also a big drawback to the people’s prosperity. Because of the majority of land on an incline, little is suitable for agricultural and animal farming, so the space they do have needs to be used optimally. RDIS introduced a 3-layered animal cage for this purpose. Not sure what I think of it, but it was quite a sight to see. When you enter in to the little shed, you find on one level some pigs and goats, on the next a few rabbits and at the top a hole lot of chickens. Their agricultural issues still need some work. It’s quite difficult to provide general solutions or code of practice to communities like these, as each family’s situation of land is different.
